Passive 9th-order Elliptical Filter
-
Published in issue 345, July 2005
Steep filters can be realised in many different ways, for example by connecting active 2nd to 5th-order sections in series and calculating the component values for the higher order. They can also be made passive, but in practice this has a few difficulties associated with it. You cannot avoid the need for inductors with values that deviate from the standard series. You will have to wind them yourself on a specially selected core. The filter presented here was originally designed to enable measurements to be made on the Class-T Amplifier (yes indeed, the one in Elektor Electronics, June 2004).
