In many systems, it is essential to extract or enhance the desired information and remove the unwanted components. This is the simplest aim of signal processing where the filter turns out to be the key element. The objective of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of analog passive and active filters. Particularly, the interest goes to the conventional Butterworth, Chebychev and Bessel filter. A comparative study of these filters is done. The different circuits are simulated using the MULTISIM software to visualize the magnitude and phase responses. The procedure of designing the different filters is presented so that it can be used in any application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
