Filters are essential subsystems in a huge variety of electronic
systems. Filter applications
are innumerable; they are used for noise reduction, demodulation, signal
detection, multiplexing, sampling, sound and speech processing,
transmission line equalization and image processing, to name just a few.
In practice, no electronic system can exist without filters. They can be
found in everything from power supplies to mobile phones and hard disk
drives and from loudspeakers and MP3 players to home cinema systems and
broadband Internet connections.
This textbook introduces basic concepts and methods and the associated
mathematical and computational tools employed in electronic filter
theory, synthesis and design. This book can be used as an integral part
of undergraduate courses on analog electronic filters.
- Includes numerous, solved examples, applied examples and exercises for
each chapter.
- Includes detailed coverage of active and passive filters in an
independent but correlated manner.
- Emphasizes real filter design from the outset.
- Uses a rigorous but simplified approach to theoretical concepts and
reinforces understanding through real design examples.
- Presents necessary theoretical background and mathematical
formulations for the design of passive and active filters in a natural
manner that makes the use of standard tables and nomographs
unnecessary and superfluous even in the most mystifiying case of
elliptic filters.
- Uses a step-by-step presentation for all filter design procedures and
demonstrates these in numerous example applications.
