VARIABLE FREQUENCY-RESPONSE ANALYSIS
In AC steady state analysis the frequency is assumed constant (e.g., 60Hz).
Here we consider the frequency as a variable and examine how the performance
varies with the frequency.

79. ACTIVE FILTERS
Passive filters have several limitations
1. Cannot generate gains greater than one
2. Loading effect makes them difficult to interconnect
3. Use of inductance makes them difficult to handle
Using operational amplifiers one can design all basic filters, and more,
with only resistors and capacitors
The linear models developed for operational amplifiers circuits are valid, in a
more general framework, if one replaces the resistors by impedances

100. LEARNING BY DESIGN Anti-aliasing filter
Nyquist Criterion
When digitizing an analog signal, such as music, any frequency components
greater than half the sampling rate will be distorted
In fact they may appear as spurious components. The phenomenon is known as
aliasing.
SOLUTION: Filter the signal before digitizing, and remove all components higher
than half the sampling rate. Such a filter is an anti-aliasing filter
For CD recording the industry standard is to sample at 44.1kHz.
An anti-aliasing filter will be a low-pass with cutoff frequency of 22.05kHz

Visualization of aliasing
Signals of different
frequency and the same
samples
Ideally one wants to eliminate frequency
components higher than twice the sampling
frequency and make sure that all useful
frequencies as properly sampled
Design specification
Simplifying assumption
Infinite input resistance (no load on RC circuit)
