Abstract
The history of Kerwin–Huelsman–Newcomb (KHN) second-order filter is reviewed. A generation method of the KHN filter from passive RLC filter is presented. Two alternative forms of the KHN circuit using operational amplifier are reviewed. The effect of finite gain-bandwidth of the op amps is considered and expressions of the actual ω0and Q are given. Two KHN circuits with inherently stable Q factor are also included. Two new partially compensated inverted KHN circuits are introduced. Active compensation methods to improve the KHN and the inverted KHN circuit performance for high Q designs are summarized. Spice simulation results are given. The progress of the KHN realizations using the current conveyor is also summarized briefly.
