H( S) = Vo(s)/ Vi(s)
H(jω) = |T(jω)|e j φ(ω)
G(ω) = 20 log |T(jω)|dB is gain function
A(ω) = - 20 log |T(jω)|dB is attenuation function
H(s) = K
Here the transmission becomes zero only at s = ∞ . The filter transfer function is
T(s) =
Hence for a filter, Zeros always lies on the imaginary axis and at zero and
infinity.
For stability constraints all poles most lie in the left half of s-plane.
In case of LPF from the given specifications of p, ωs, Amax (dB), Amin (dB) the ϵ
and N (order of the filter) can be determined.
To achieve a low-pass Butterworth response, we need to create a transfer
function whose poles are arranged as follows:
• Poles have equal angular spacing and lie along a semicircular path in the left
half-plane.
• Distance between the origin and each pole is the same, and this in turn means
that all poles have the same frequency ω0.
• Angle that separates the poles is equal to 180°/N, where N is the order of the
filter. In the example above, N = 4, and the separation angle is 180°/4 = 45°.
• First and last pole are separated from the imaginary axis by an angle of π/2N.
• Equal angular spacing of the Butterworth poles indicates that even-order
filters will have only complex-conjugate poles. Odd-order filters have
complex-conjugate poles plus one purely real pole that lies along the negative
real axis at a distance of ω0 from the origin.
• All poles have the same ω0, but the horizontal distance from the origin varies.
Thus, the poles have different Q factors.
