Analog and Digital Filters

(3 credits)

Description: Active filter design; operational amplifier circuits; cascade design with first-order and biquad circuits; Butterworth and Chebyshev lowpass filters; sensitivity and frequency transformations. Digital filter design; IIR filter design using bilinear transformation; window design of FIR filters; Discrete frequency transformations; realization of IIR and FIR filters.

Prerequisites: ECE 1552

Texts: Analog Filter Design by M. E. Van Valkenburg, and Digital Filter Design Notes by L. F. Chaparro

Course Objectives: Provide the students with foundations for analog and digital filter design.

Topics Covered: Operational amplifier circuits, first order circuits, biquad circuit, Butterworth low-pass filters, Chebyshev low-pass filters, Sallen and key circuit, frequency transformations, design of infinite impulse response digital filters, design of finite impulse response digital filters, frequency transformations.

Class/Laboratory Schedule: Two lectures per week for 75 minutes each.

Professional Component Contributions: Students learn how to design and implement analog and digital filters. Emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of the design. Design of analog and digital filters using MATLAB.
