Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
1. Analysis methods of Electrical circuits
2. Transfer functions and frequency response of linear systems
3. Principles and characteristics of Operational Amplifiers, basic configurations.
Learning Outcomes
1. Thorough investigation of the principles and methodologies involved in active filters design.
2. Understanding the methods fore zero-pole control of transfer functions for the different types of active filters.
3. Analysis and computation of the sensitivity functions of active filters, in respect to a series of factors impacting the filter frequency response.
4. Distinction of the filter architectures, as well as the merits and drawbacks of the different filter structures, in relation to the circuitry complexity of real filters and the frequency response characteristics.
5. Analysis and design of various filter types, using a series of integrated design methodologies of multiple stages.
6. Constructive combination of the analytical design of the filter modules with the circuit characteristics of the finally obtained structures.
7. Emphasis is put on the realistic implementations of filter designs via a group of projects. The objective of the projects relate to both the analytical and circuit implementations. Fulfilment of the design specifications in analytical and circuitry level is achieved using several software packages (MATLAB, Simulink, EWB, SPICE).
General Competences
