Analog Filters
Analog Filters
Learning Objectives:
- Compare analog filters with digital filters.
- Operating characteristics of simple analog filters, such as RC, LC, RL, RLC, Chebychev filters
In order to eliminate the unwanted interference that accompanies a signal, a filter is needed.
Classification of filters:
- Low pass filters
- High pass filters
- Band-pass filters
- Band-reject filters
Classification of filters:
- Continuous time
- Discrete time
Classification of filters:
- Passive filters
- Active filters
