Electronic filters are used in communication engineering to remove or enhance certain frequency components in a signal. There are different types of filters including passive filters using resistors, inductors and capacitors without an external power source, and active filters combining passive components with active amplifying components requiring an outside power source. Common filter types include low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-reject, and filters can be either analog or digital, linear or non-linear, and have an infinite or finite impulse response.

FILTER DESIGN & SIMULATION ASSINGMENT USE OF FILTERS IN COMMUNICATION ENGG

Electronic filters are electronic circuits, which perform signal-processing functions, specifically to remove unwanted frequency components from the signal, to enhance wanted ones, or both. Electronic filters can be: 1. Passive or active 2. Analog or digital 3. High-pass, low-pass, band pass, band-reject (band reject; notch), or all-pass. 4. Discrete-time (sampled) or continuous-time 5. Linear or non-linear 6. Infinite impulse response (IIR type) or finite impulse response (FIR type) The most common types of electronic filters are linear filters, regardless of other aspects of their design.

Passive filters Passive implementations of linear filters are based on combinations of resistors (R), inductors (L) and capacitors (C). These types are collectively known as passive filters, because they do not depend upon an external power supply and/or they do not contain active components such as transistors. Inductors block high-frequency signals and conduct low-frequency signals, while capacitors do the reverse. A filter in which the signal passes through an inductor, or in which a capacitor provides a path to ground, presents less attenuation to low-frequency signals than high-frequency signals and is a low-pass filter. If the signal passes through a capacitor, or has a path to ground through an inductor, then the filter presents less attenuation to high-frequency signals than low-frequency signals and is a high-pass filter. Resistors on their own have no frequency-selective properties, but are added to inductors and capacitors to determine the time-constants of the circuit, and therefore the frequencies to which it responds. Active filters Active filters are implemented using a combination of passive and active (amplifying) components, and require an outside power source.Operational amplifiers are frequently used in active filter designs. These can have high Q factor, and can achieve resonance without the use of inductors. However, their upper frequency limit is limited by the bandwidth of the amplifiers used.
