Wanted: bandpass filter design
Hi all,
I need a simple design for a BPF with a centre frequency of 17.2Mhz., corner frequencies one Meg or therabouts either side of that and a reasonably good shape factor (nothing critical here). I don't mind having to do a bit of tweaking of values myself if anyone has something close to that they can post. Passive L/C combinations only, please. (assume the usual 50R nominal Zs.) Thanks, p. -- The BBC: Licensed at public expense to spread lies. |

I don't mind having to do a bit of tweaking of values myself if anyone has something close to that they can post. Passive L/C combinations only, please. (assume the usual 50R nominal Zs.) [snip] Such a design can be achieved with a vert simple formula and a pocket calculator or slide rule. Why don't you just use Bennett's simple formula for the maximally flat approximation all pole element values, or Takashi's simple formulae for the equiripple approximation all pole element values? Oh... perhaps you want elliptic [Cauer or Darlington] designs or perhaps a completely general parameter design in that case ypu will need a computer and will need to do some programming or buy some programming, or better yet... Hire a consultant... :-) Hey, I've designed literally thousands of LC filters over decades in most frequency ranges, for clients who have paid me well. I have access to very sophisticated and comprehensive general parameter LC filter design programs that I have written [In Fortran BTW] over lo these many years and they are immediately at my disposal. But... unfortunately for some... I never design filters for free! I'll do it for you at my usual consulting rates. My rates are reasonable.

Conversely, go to the WB6BLD website and download the free student version
of Elsie and do it yourself, will take an hour to learn the software and 5 minutes to design the filter. Another good filter program that is free and available and relatively easy to use is at the AADE website. Would be worth your while to learn even if you seldom design a filter. W4ZCB "Peter O.

Lots of books out there with normalized tables. Go to a technical university library and spend a few hours pouring thru some filter books. You can use Linear Technology's FilterCad to see what sort of filter type and order you need. Then hit the tables and make an LC filter. The best book I have found is "Simplified Modern Filter Design" by Philip Geffe, circa 1963. You can sometimes find this book in a university technical library. It has an excellent treatment of basic filter design and how to go from a low-pass prototype to other filter types. For your particular filter, you might consider a loose-coupled design, also called coupled resonators. Good for Q 10. Your design will just fit into this category if you don't mind some imperfection. This type of design produces nice component values. "Electronic Filter Design Handbook", by Arthur Williams and Fred Taylor (ISBN 0-07-070434-1), page 5-19 has info. Mark |

Thanks, p. -- The BBC: Licensed at public expense to spread lies. Download the freeware filter design software from http://www.nuhertz.com/ Their UI is, uh, colorful, but it seems to work. Pay attention to the source and load impedance. Also, it doesn't like 'engineering' notation (eg: 17.2Meg), so use scientific notation like 17.2e6 instead. The freeware only designs filters to 3rd order, so if you need better than that, either dig it out of a book or buy the software. However, it does both passive and active filters. Its a bargain at twice the price... ;) Regards, Bob Monsen |

The pleasantly simple to design "constant K's" and associated "M derived" filters, can be easily and freely used for most day-to-day electronics work. Exact Filter design, or 'synthesis' as they nowadays prefer to call it, can be a nightmare if you're coming in from scratch. Even using a filter design programme requires a good knowledge of filter types/performance/spec's before data can begin to be entered. If not using a prog' you move onto the more vexing method of having to design an initial (prototype) low-pass filter, either via precalculated tables or computing the required co-efficients, then mathematically transforming the low-pass values into a bandpass (etc) design. For higher order filters it can be ball-acheing drudgery and even then inductor resistance has a nasty habit of spoiling that pristine work of art. (not a problem with DSP filters). I can't suggest a decent book, as the general purpose books seem over complicated and destined to be written by maths people for maths people. (The old GPO line-comm's manuals have useful notes on the 'K and M ' filters). regards john |

I'd suggest Temes and LaPatra, "Circuit Synthesis and Design." Now out of print, but occasionally you can find a cheap old copy used. I'd also suggest the original poster does a couple of the exercises (he might have already), doing what you describe with building a low frequency prototype filter and then transforming it to a different type and frequency range, but just for, e.g., a second order filter. There's not much to be gained by doing the 'drudgery,' as you say, for a higher order filter other than proficiency in aithrmetic. ---Joel Kolstad |
