Band Pass Filter Design and Applications

This document describes wideband and narrowband bandpass filters. A wideband filter has a quality factor less than 10, giving it a larger bandwidth. It is created by cascading a highpass and lowpass filter, using one active component. A narrowband filter has a quality factor greater than 10, resulting in a narrower passband and less bandwidth. It is also made with one active component in an inverting configuration. Both types of filters are used in wireless communication applications.

➢ In this filter the high cut-off frequency must be

greater than the lower cut-off frequency


➢ If the quality factor is less than ten, then the band
pass is wide, which gives us the larger bandwidth.
➢ First the signal will pass through the high pass
filter, the output signal of this high pass filter will
tends to infinity is given to the low pass filter at the
end.
➢ This low pass filter will low pass the high frequency
signal.
➢ When the High Pass Filter is cascaded with Low
pass filter the simple Band Pass Filter is obtained.
➢ By cascading one first order low pass and high pass
gives us the second order band pass filter
➢ Due to this cascading the circuit produces a low
value quality factor.
➢ The capacitor in the first order high pass filter will
block any DC biasing from the input signal.
➢ The gain rolls off at both the stop bands is ± 20 dB
/decade in the case of second order filter.
➢ The voltage gain expression for band pass filter is
given as:
Av=| Vout / Vin | = [Amax * (f/fL)] /
√{[1+(f/fL)²][1+(f/fH)²]}
➢ Voltage Gain for High Pass filter:
| V out / V in | = [Amax1 * (f/fL)] / √[1+(f/fL)²]
➢ Voltage Gain for Low pass filter:
| V out / V in | = Amax2 / √[1+(f/fH)²]
➢ A max = A max1 * A max2 ,Where Amax1 is the gain of the high pass
stage and Amax2 is the gain of the low pass stage.
The response of wide band filter is shown
below:
ADVANTAGES:
➢ Provides design simplicity
➢ Reduce manufacturing costs

DISADVANTAGES:
➢ Its harder to send and detect wide band signals
APPLICATIONS:
➢ Wide band communication allows for higher band
width and therefore for a faster communication.
➢ In wireless transmitters and receivers.
➢ In transmitter it is used to limit the bandwidth of
the output signal to the band allocated for
transmission.
INTRODUCTION:
➢ If the value of quality factor is greater than ten
then the pass band is narrow and bandwidth of the
pass band is also less. This band pass filter is
called as Narrow Band Pass Filter.
➢ It uses only one active component (op-amp) rather
than two and this op-amp is in inverting
configuration.
➢ In this filter the gain of the op-amp is maximum at
centre frequency fc.
➢ The input is applied to the inverting input terminal.
This shows that the Op-amp is in inverting
configuration.
➢ The voltage gain of the above filter circuit is A V = –
R2 / R1
➢ The cut-off frequencies of the filter circuit are

f C1 = 1 / (2πR 1C1) and


f C2 = 1 / (2πR 2C2)
ADVANTAGES:
➢ Greater range of reception
➢ Cancel out unwanted wideband noise

DISADVANTAGES:
➢ Not appropriate for high speed communications
due to narrow receiver bandwidth.
➢ Speed is limited to less than 9,600 bps.
➢ Common uses are FM radio, AM radio, satellite
downlinks, GPS signals etc.
➢ Used in slower form of communication where voice
or slow data streams have to be transmitted.
