Abstract
This article provides a technique for design and simulation of an active second order band-pass filter with lineal tuning of Q-factor and independent tuning over a wide range of resonant frequency and transfer coefficient. The tunable band-pass RC-filter is required for selective processing of electric signals in radio engineering systems and devices, as well as in in-formation measuring systems, the acoustic and hydro acoustic equipment, including devices for noise and vibration analysis. The band-pass RC-filter is required in equalizers for allocation of useful signals.
It is shown that the filter is constructed on the basis of the active second order correcting link with the use of tunable RCcircuit T-bridge. Calculation formulas for filter parameters are received, i.e. resonant frequency, polar Q-factor and transfer coefficient. It is shown that in the filter circuit these parameters can independently be tunable over a wide range. Resonant frequency of the filter is tuned by means of dual variable resistors with the Q-factor and transfer coefficient remaining constant.
Polar Q-factor is regulated by change of resistance of the variable resistor with transfer coefficient and resonant frequency remaining constant. The transfer coefficient changes by means of another variable resistor.
The conclusions of expressions for the tuned parameters of the suggested circuit of the active band-pass RC-filter confirming the research are provided, as well as the filter frequency characteristics and tunable parameter diagrams. Filter implementation is supported by simulation with the use of MicroCap10 software.
