Exact Design of RC Polyphase Filters and Related Issues

摘要

This paper presents analysis and design of passive RC polyphase filters (RCPFs) in tutorial style. Single-phase model of a single-stage RCPF is derived, and then, multi-stage RCPFs are analyzed and obtained some restrictions for realizable poles and zeros locations of RCPFs. Exact design methods of RCPFs with equal ripple type, and Butterworth type responses are explained for transfer function design and element value design along with some design examples.
