High-Order Active Filter Design Based on Component-Level Signal Flow Graph Method

Abstract

In this paper, a seventh-order elliptic low-pass active-RC filter with three finite transmission zeros is designed for the baseband filter of a 433MHz wireless communication terminal. While designing, the canonical signal flow graph (SFG) method is applied based on component-level simulation of LC ladder prototype circuit. The simulation and measurement results show that the filter satisfied the design specifications.
