WHAT IS FILTER?
Filter
is an electronic circuit that capable to select one frequency or range of frequencies out of a mix of different frequencies.
Can
be define as an AC circuit that separates some frequencies from others within mixed-frequency signals.
common need for filter circuits is in high-performance stereo systems, where certain ranges of audio frequencies need to be amplified or suppressed for best sound quality and power efficiency.

APPLICATION OF FILTER
Audio
equalizers and crossover networks are two well-known applications of filter circuits, designed to accomplish filtering of certain frequencies. Both gives better audio system efficiency and thus better performance.
Equalizers,
which allow the amplitudes of several frequency ranges to be adjusted to suit the listener's taste and acoustic properties of the listening area.

Crossover
ranges of frequencies from reaching speakers. A tweeter (high-frequency speaker) is inefficient at reproducing low-frequency signals such as drum beats, so a crossover circuit is connected between the tweeter and the stereo's output terminals to block lowfrequency signals, only passing highfrequency signals to the speaker's connection terminals.
practical application of filter circuits is in the conditioning of non-sinusoidal voltage waveforms in power circuits.
Some
electronic devices are sensitive to the presence of harmonics in the power supply voltage, and so require power conditioning for proper operation.

TYPES OF FILTERS
1. Low-pass filter allow pass of low frequencies and reject high frequencies 2. High-pass filter - allow pass of high frequencies and reject low frequencies 3. Band-pass filter - allow pass a band of frequencies and reject all others frequencies 4. Notch or band-reject filter or band-stop filter - reject a band of frequencies and allow to pass all others frequencies

a circuit offering easy passage to low-frequency signals and difficult passage to high-frequency signals. There are two basic kinds of circuits capable of accomplishing this objective, and many variations of each one: inductive low-pass filter capacitive low-pass filter
16
The inductor's impedance increases with increasing frequency. This high impedance in series tends to block high-frequency signals from getting to the load

REVIEW
A low-pass filter allows for easy passage of low-frequency signals from source to load, and difficult passage of highfrequency signals. Inductive low-pass filters insert an inductor in series with the load; capacitive low-pass filters insert a resistor in series and a capacitor in parallel with the load. The former filter design tries to block the unwanted frequency signal while the latter tries to short it out. The cutoff frequency for a low-pass filter is that frequency at which the output (load) voltage equals 70.7% of the input (source) voltage. Above the cutoff frequency, the output voltage is lower than 70.7% of the input, and vice versa.
20
Electronic circuit that passes highfrequency signals but attenuates (reduces the amplitude of) signals with frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency High-pass filters have many uses, such as blocking DC from circuitry sensitive to non-zero average voltages or RF devices. They can also be used in conjunction with a low-pass filter to make a bandpass filter.
21
In this circuit arrangement, the reactance of the capacitor is very high at low frequencies so the capacitor acts like an open circuit and blocks any input signals at Vin until the cut-off frequency point (c) is reached.
22
Above the cut-off frequency point the reactance of the capacitor has reduced sufficiently as to now act more like a short circuit allowing all of the input signal to pass directly to the output as shown below in the High Pass Frequency Response Curve.

The circuit gain, Av which is given as Vout/Vin (magnitude) and is calculated as:

EXAMPLE NO1.
Calculate the cut-off or "breakpoint" frequency (c) for a simple high pass filter consisting of an 82pF capacitor connected in series with a 240k resistor.

A band pass filter passes all frequencies within a band of frequencies and rejects all other frequencies outside the band.
This filter can be build from a low-pass and high-pass filter

Creating a bandpass filter from a low-pass and high-pass filter can be illustrated using block diagrams

A band stop filter rejects all frequencies within a band of frequencies and passes all other frequencies outside the band.
A band stop filter is often referred to as a Notch filter.
