Part III: Mini Project

An analog accelerometer is mounted on a quadcopter which is observed to be affected by additive
noise at frequency greater than 8 kHz due to vibration. The specification of the accelerometer states
that the output is bounded to frequency less than 4 kHz. Design an analog low-pass filter to reduce
the effect of the vibration on the output. The filter shouldn’t reduce the magnitude of the
accelerometer output by more than 3dB, while attenuating the vibration noise by at least 40dB. Write
a MATLAB script that simulate and plot the magnitude response of the designed low pass filter using
Butterworth and Chebyshev approximation method.
