Tolerance analysis for Chebysev filters

Abstract

The paper presents two methods for analyzing analog circuit tolerances. Both methods were applied to a low pass and a high pass Chebyshev filter. One method called Monte Carlo analysis relies on the circuit matrix for generating results; the other called fast Monte Carlo analysis uses the circuit's transfer function in order to generate the results of the tolerance analysis. The circuit's elements sensitivities are calculated using the derivates of the circuit's transfer functions.
