Answer: N 12, A 21.5 DB, 0.73 DB: Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman
Q1.Determine the order N of the Butterworth filter for which Amax = 1 dB, Amin 20 dB, and the
selectivity ratio s /p = 1.3. What is the actual value of minimum stopband attenuation
realized? If Amin is to be exactly 20 dB, to what value can Amax be reduced?
Answer: N = 12, Amin = 21.5 dB, 0.73 dB
Q2.Design a Butterworth filter that meets the following low pass specifications: fp = 10 kHz, Amax
= 2 dB, fs = 15 kHz, and Amin = 15 dB. Find N, the poles, and T(s). What is the attenuation
provided at 20 kHz?
Answer: N = 5, 27.8dB

T ( s)
( s 0 )(s 2 0.6180 s 02 )(s 2 1.6180 s 02 ) ,
Q3.Design a second-order Butterworth low-pass filter using Sallen-Key circuit to yield DC gain
|T(0)| = 1 (or 0 dB), a cutoff frequency of f0 = 10 kHz, and Q = 0.707.
Q4.It is required to design a low pass filter to meet the following specifications: fp = 3.4 kHz, Amax
= 1 dB, fs = 4 kHz, Amin = 35 dB.
(a) Find the required order of Chebyshev filter. What is the excess (above 35 dB) stopband
attenuation obtained?
(b) Find the poles and the transfer function.
Answer: N = 10, Excess attenuation = 4 dB, P1 = p(-0.0224 + j0.9978), P2 = p(-0.065 +
j0.900), P3 = p(-0.1013 + j0.7143), P4 = p(-0.1277 + j0.4586), P5 = p(-0.1415 + j0.158),
Q6.By cascading a first order op amp–RC low-pass circuit with a first order op amp–RC high-pass
circuit one can design a wideband band pass filter. Provide such a design for the case the mid-
band gain is 16 and the 3-dB bandwidth extends from 10 kHz to 1 MHz. Select appropriate
component values, using non-inverting op-amp configuration. Determine the Q factor of your
design.
Q7.A coil having an inductance of 10 µH is intended for use around 1-MHz. Its Q is 200. Find the
equivalent parallel resistance Rp. What is the value of the capacitor required to produce
resonance at 1 MHz? What additional parallel resistance is required to produce a 3-dB
bandwidth of 10 kHz?
Answer: 12.57 kΩ, 2.533 nF, 12.57 kΩ
