Automated Electronic Filter Design

This book describes a novel, efficient and powerful scheme for designing and evaluating the performance characteristics of any electronic filter designed with predefined specifications. The author explains techniques that enable readers to eliminate complicated manual, and thus error-prone and time-consuming, steps of traditional design techniques. The presentation includes demonstration of efficient automation, using an ANSI C language program, which accepts any filter design specification (e.g. Chebyschev low-pass filter, cut-off frequency, pass-band ripple etc.) as input and generates as output a SPICE(Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) format netlist. Readers then can use this netlist to run simulations with any version of the popular SPICE simulator, increasing accuracy of the final results, without violating any of the key principles of the traditional design scheme.

Enables readers to avoid manual, error-prone and time-consuming steps of traditional electronic filter design techniques Demonstrates automated techniques that allow for design space exploration and fine-tuning of performance characteristics of new filter designs Enables fully-automated design of both distributed and lumped element electronic filters, eliminating complicated, error-prone and time consuming calculation steps, with accompanying software packages Shows readers how to create designs in commonly used SPICE, text based netlist format, enabling easy performance analysis Request lecturer material: sn.pub/lecturer-material
