A band-pass filter passes all signals lying
within a band between a lower-
frequency limit and upper-frequency
limit and essentially rejects all other
frequencies that are outside this
specified band. The simplest band-pass
filter is
an RLC circuit.

The frequency about which the passband is centered is called the center

Band-stop filter is a filter which its operation is opposite to that of the band-
pass filter because the frequencies within the bandwidth are rejected, and the
frequencies outside bandwidth are passed. Its also known as notch, band-reject

Parameter for Butterworth filters up to four poles are given in the
following table.

The number of poles determines the roll-off rate of the filter. For
example, a Butterworth response produces -20 dB/decade/pole. This
means that:
This filter provides a roll-off rate of -20 dB/decade above the critical
frequency.
The close-loop voltage gain is set by the values of R1 and R , so that

Sallen-Key is one of the most common configurations for a two-pole filter.
It is also known as a VCVS (voltage-controlled voltage source) filter.
(4-11)
A three-pole filter is required to provide a roll-off rate of -60 dB/decade.
This is done by cascading a two-pole Sallen-Key low-pass filter and a
single-pole low-pass filter.
The critical frequency of the high-pass filter, fC1 must be lower than that
of the low-pass filter, fC2 to make the center frequency overlaps.

Multiple-feedback band-pass
filter is another type of filter
configuration.
The feedback paths of the
filter are through R1 and C1.
R1 and C1 provide the low-
pass filter, and R2 and C2
provide the high-pass filter.
The center frequency is given

Biquad filter contains an integrator, followed by an inverting
amplifier, and then an integrator.
In a biquad filter, the bandwidth is independent and the Q is
dependent on the critical frequency.
