In general, low-frequency signal contains main signal and hash , a term we apply to
unwanted high-frequency signals such as shrill tones, scratching sounds, or chirps is
shown in figure 1. To remove the hash, leaving only the low-frequency signal, requires
a lowpass filter capable of passing low frequencies and rejecting high frequencies.
Filters are designed such that each transmitted signal have same amplitude.
Figure 1 : 2-Pole Rolloff Transfer function
Figure 2 : 2- Transfer function of idea LPF and n-pole rolloff
The ideal Low Pass Filter characteristic is shown in Figure 2. The normalized frequency
of
ω
0
= 1 rad / s , the amplitude of T(jω)) is a constant; above that frequency the value of
T(jω)) is 0. The pass band and stop band are clearly separated at
ω
0
= 1 rad / s
. Because
of its shape, this characteristic is called a brick wall; it is the ideal lowpass filter
characteristic. As shown in Figure 2, the magnitude should be nearly to constant
( T ( j ω ))= 1 ¿ in the pass band. In the stop band we require n-pole rolloff , where n is a
large number, in contrast to the n = 2 rolloff for the biquad circuit.
Figure 3 : 2- Product of three transfer function T1T2T
Figure 4 : 2-The magnitudes of all differnet transfer function
If we connect three modules, as shown in Figure 3, in cascade such that the overall
transfer function T is equal to the product T1T2T3. The product of the magnitudes is
shown in Figure 4 as the dashed line. The large values of |T1| are just overcome by the
small values of |T2|and |T3| to achieve the approximation to the brick wall. The
transfer functions have the same value of
ω
0
, but different values of Q.
