The design of a 4’th order Bandpass Butterworth filter with one operational amplifier.

摘要

A numerical design method is presented for the design of all pole band pass active-RC filters applying just one operational amplifier. The operational amplifier model used is the integrator model: ωt/s where ωt is the unity gain fre-quency. The design method is used for the design of a fourth order band pass filter with Butterworth poles applying just one operational amplifier coupled as a unity gain amplifier. The unity gain amplifiers have the advantage of providing low power consumption, yielding a large dynamic range, sometimes simplifying the amplifier design and being usable over a larger frequency range than conventional constant gain amplifiers. The Schoeffler sensitivity index is used as a basis for a practical realization of the circuit.
