INTRODUCTION

A filter is a device which removes the ac component of rectifier output and allows
only dc component to reach the load. A filter is installed between the rectifier and
the load.it is generally a combination of inductors and capacitors.

THEORY

A high pass filter has its output taken from across the resistor. The passive high
pass filter only passes signals above the selected cut-off point, eliminating any low
frequency signals from the waveform.

The reactance of the capacitor is very high at low frequencies so the capacitor acts
like an open circuit and blocks any input signal until the cutoff is reached. Above
this cut-off frequency point the reactance of the capacitor has reduced sufficiently
as to now act more like a short circuit allowing all input signal to pass directly to
the output.

In the bode plot, the signal is attenuated at low frequencies with the output
increasing at +20db until the frequency reaches the cut-off point. It has a response
curve that extends down from infinity to the cut-off frequency.

For a bilinear transfer function, the pole is always on the negative real axis,
whereas the zero may be on either the positive or negative part of the real axis. The
magnitude of the transfer function can be plotted on a linear scale. The plot is
called the magnitude response which is a function of frequency.
Design a first order passive high pass filter such that its dc gain T (0.3) =0.3 and
the gain at high frequencies is equal to T ( ) =1. The filter must have a zero on the
negative real axis at fz=-159Hz. Plot the magnitude and phase of the filter.
2. Design a circuit to realize the bilinear transfer function with a zero at f z =
830 Hz. A pole f p = 13KHz and a high frequency gain of 23 d B
q
3. Design a high pass filter with a cut-off frequency of 42 KHz and a quality
factor Q to obtain some 10 DB of band edge peaking above the high frequency.
The gain at high frequencies is to be 6 d B.
