Today, we'll explore passive filter design, which is crucial for controlling signal frequencies. Who can tell me what a low-pass filter does?
It allows low frequencies to pass and blocks high frequencies!
Exactly! The cutoff frequency defines that boundary. Can anyone share how we define the cutoff frequency mathematically?
We use the formula f<sub>c</sub> = 1/(2ΟRC) for the low-pass filter.
Great answer! Remember, RC is the product of resistance and capacitance in the circuit.

Let's take a closer look at the low-pass filter prototype. Can someone describe its basic circuit diagram?
Sure! It has a resistor connected to a capacitor in series, and the output is taken across the capacitor.
Exactly! The transfer function is quite important too. Can anyone tell me the transfer function for this filter?

Passive Filter Design Overview
In Section 11.3, we delve into the fundamentals of passive filter design, which utilize passive components like capacitors (C), resistors (R), and inductors (L) in the construction of various filter types. This section explicates three primary passive filter prototypes: low-pass filters (LPF), high-pass filters (HPF), and band-pass filters (BPF).
1. Low-Pass Filter (LPF) Prototype

Vin ββRβββ¬ββ C ββ GND β Vout
- Transfer Function:
\[ H(s) = \frac{1}{1 + sRC} \quad \text{(fc = 1/(2ΟRC))} \]
Detailed Explanation
This chunk describes the Low-Pass Filter (LPF) prototype based on the Butterworth design. In this design, the input signal (Vin) passes through a resistor (R) before reaching a capacitor (C) connected to the ground (GND). The transfer function, given as H(s) = 1 / (1 + sRC), shows how the output (Vout) behaves in relation to the input and the components' values. The cutoff frequency, fc, indicates the frequency at which the filter begins to reduce the signal, calculated as fc = 1/(2ΟRC). The Butterworth filter is known for having a maximally flat frequency response in the passband.
Examples & Analogies
Think of the Low-Pass Filter as a sieve that only allows certain 'sizes' of signals to pass through. For example, if you're straining pasta, the sieve lets the water flow away (high frequencies) while keeping the pasta inside (low frequencies). In this case, the pasta represents the desired signals, while the water represents unwanted noise or high-frequency signals.

Vin ββCβββ¬ββ R ββ GND β Vout
- Transfer Function:
\[ H(s) = \frac{sRC}{1 + sRC} \]
Detailed Explanation
This chunk presents the High-Pass Filter (HPF) prototype. Here the input signal (Vin) is first passed through a capacitor (C) before going through a resistor (R) to ground (GND). The transfer function, H(s) = sRC / (1 + sRC), describes how signals above a certain frequency can pass through while those below are attenuated. The HPF effectively blocks low-frequency signals, which can be useful in applications such as audio processing where you want to eliminate lower frequencies (like noise or hum) from audio signals.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a bouncer at a nightclub. Only guests who meet a certain standardβletβs say a minimum heightβare allowed in (high frequencies). The bouncer will stop shorter guests (low frequencies) at the door, allowing only those who qualify to enter. Similarly, the High-Pass Filter allows high-frequency signals to pass while blocking lower frequencies.
Band-Pass (LC Tank)

Vin ββLβββ¬ββ C ββ GND β Vout
- Center Frequency:
\[ f_0 = \frac{1}{2Ο\sqrt{LC}} \]
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, the Band-Pass Filter (BPF) is introduced, which consists of an inductor (L) and a capacitor (C) to form an LC tank circuit. The input signal (Vin) flows into the inductor and then passes through the capacitor to ground. The center frequency, f0, is determined using f0 = 1/(2Οβ(LC)). The BPF allows signals within a certain frequency range to pass while attenuating those outside this range. This feature is particularly useful in radio frequency tuning where specific signals are selected and unwanted noise is blocked.
Examples & Analogies
Think of the Band-Pass Filter like a radio tuner. You turn the dial (adjust the components of the filter) until you find your favorite station (the desired frequency). Other stations (unwanted frequencies) signal static or noise that you donβt want. The band-pass filter helps isolate that specific frequency you want to hear clearly.
