HIGH PASS FILTER

In a similar approach, one can derive the transfer function of

a high pass filter. A typical first order high pass filter is shown

below:

Writing the KCL for this circuit :

(V

(12)

(13)

Solving these two equations to find the transfer function and

using:

(high frequency gain)

and

Which results:

(14)

Looking at the transfer function, it is clear that when f/f

small, the capacitor is open and hence no signal is getting in

to the amplifier. As the frequency increases the amplifier

starts operating. Atf=f

circuit and the amplifier will have a constant, high frequency,

gain of H

BAND PASS FILTER

Combining a low pass filter and a high pass filter will gener-

ate a band pass filter. In this network the input impedance

forms the high pass filter while the feedback impedance

forms the low pass filter. Choosing the corner frequencies so

that f

≤ f ≤ f

pass through the filter while frequencies below f

f

The transfer function can be easily calculated using the

same methodology as before.

The transfer function is presented in the following figure.
