know about

• Band reject filters

• Types of band reject filters

AEI505.43 to 44 2
 Recap

In the previous class we have studied about

• Band pass filters

• Design of band pass filter

AEI505.43 to 44 3
 Band Reject Filter

• Also called band stop or band elimination filter.

• Stop band between two cut off frequency fH & fL

• Frequencies outside stop band are passed.

.

AEI505.43 to 44 4
Types of Band reject filters :

• Two types of band reject filters are

1. Wide band reject

2. Narrow band reject

AEI505.43 to 44 5
 Wide Band Reject Filter

• Wide band reject filters are formed by using

• a low pass filter,
• a high pass filter &
• a summing amplifier.

• fL of high pass filter must be large than fH of low pass filter

AEI505.43 to 44 6
• Voltage gain magnitude is product of

• voltage gain magnitude of low pass &high pass

filter

 Vo AFT (f/fH)
=
Vin √[1+(f/fH)2][1+(f/fL)2]

Where,

AFT = total pass band gain

f = frequency of input
fL = low cut off frequency
fH = high cut off frequency

 Narrow Band Reject Filter

• Often called a notch filter.

• Used for rejection of a simple frequency.

AEI505.43 to 44 11
• Most commonly used notch filter is the twin-T network.

• Passive filter composed of two T-shaped networks.

AEI505.43 to 44 12
Twin – T notch filter

AEI505.43 to 44 13
• One T-network is made up of two resistors & a capacitor
.

• Other T-network uses two capacitors & a resistor.

AEI505.43 to 44 15
• The frequency at which maximum attenuation occurs is
the notch out frequency.

fN=1/2πRC

• Passive twin T-network has low frequency of merit Q.

• Q can be increased by using a voltage follower.

Design

• Select a specific notch out frequency fN.

• Choose the value of C ≤ 1μf.

• Calculate the value of R.

R=1/2πfN C.
