Filter design specifications can be manifest in all manner of necessity, whether they are high-pass, low-pass, band-pass, or stop-band filters. In addition, the parameters for such filters are defined for a very specific application. A design for a lowpass filter with a pass-band of 2k Hz and a stop-band of 4k will be discussed. The further properties of the filter are to allow for a 48 dB drop...

A log-domain current-mode true RMS-to-DC converter based on a novel synthesis of a simplified current-mode low pass filter and a two-quadrant squarer/divider is presented. The circuit employs floating gate MOS (FG-MOS) transistors operating in weak inversion region. The converter features low power(

Traditional continuous-time filters are of integer order. However, using fractional calculus, filters may also be represented by the more general fractional-order differential equations in which case integer-order filters are only a tight subset of fractional-order filters. In this work, we show that low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and all-pass filters can be realized with circuits incorporatin...

The `ideal' band pass ̄lter can be used to isolate the component of a time series that lies within a particular band of frequencies. However, applying this ̄lter requires a dataset of in ̄nite length. In practice, some sort of approximation is needed. Using projections, we derive approximations that are optimal when the time series representations underlying the raw data have a unit root, or are...

  In this paper, a microstrip lowpass filter with an ultra-wide stopband with sharp roll-off and compact size is designed and fabricated. To provide a very small dimension, T-shaped and stepped impedance have been used. The cut of frequency at -3 dB is 3.1 GHz. In the proposed structure, insertion loss is less than 0.12 and return loss is more than 15 dB. To achieve a -20dB attenuation level...

This paper describes a new low power l l l y differential secondorder continuous-time low pass filter for use at video frequencies. The filter uses a single active device in combination with MOSFET resistors and grounded capacitors to achieve very low power consumption, small chip area and large dynamic range. The ideal integrator is realised using an internally compensated opamp consisting of ...

A method to detect multiple soft faults in linear analog circuits using test vectors is proposed in this paper. The circuit under test (CUT) is simulated used Modified Nodal Analysis (MNA) and with the knowledge of circuit topology and the component values, the test vectors associated with each components of the CUT and diagnosis variables are derived. In real time fault detection, the dependen...

A second order voltage mode tunable universal filter is presented. The voltage mode filter is based on dual output second generation current controlled current conveyor (DOCCCII). The filter is capable of realizing high pass (HP), low pass (LP), band pass (BP), notch pass (NP) and all pass (AP) responses in voltage mode (VM). The filter employs only two capacitors and hence enjoys minimum compo...
