Abstract

A systematic RC-active network synthesis procedure for the realization of second-order transfer functions is proposed. The realization employs a single generalized impedance converter which can be implemented by using only two operational amplifiers. The sensitivity to passive element variations are found to be low. The sensitivity to variations in the amplifier d.c. gain is minimized and found comparable to that in other low sensitivity structures. A design procedure is developed in which tuning can be achieved by trimming only resistors. With the exception of one case, second-order sections can be cascaded without additional isolating amplifiers. The stability properties as well as the influence of the finite bandwidth of the amplifiers are examined. The design procedure is used to obtain a sixth-order Chebychev low-pass filter, and a sixth-order elliptic band-pass filter. Experimental results show that these realizations are insensitive to temperature and power supply variations.
