Objective: The objective is to design and simulate a low-pass active filter circuit. • Specifications: The active filter is required to operate in a system where the signals involved can have frequencies of up to 1MHz. The desired cut-off frequency of the filter is 1.2MHz. The interferers and unwanted signals having frequencies of 3MHz and above need to be attenuated by at least 30dB. ⚫ Tasks: 1. Using the Analog Filter Wizard available at https://tools.analog.com/en/filterwizard/, find the required order of the Butterworth filter that will meet the targeted specifications mentioned above. 2. Using the same Filter Wizard, synthesize the filter. This will be considered as the benchmark or reference design. 3. Using the Butterworth filters design tables provided in the slides, calculate the values of the components needed to build this filter. This will be considered as your design. 4. Use ADS to simulate the frequency response of both designs. 5. Report the transfer characteristics of both designs, and compare them. For the ADS simulation, use a V_1Tone as a source to drive your filter and perform AC simulations. Use a 1k resistor as our load. Sweep the frequency of the soruce over the desired range in order to report the transfer characteristic of the designed filters. • Deliverables: - Submit a brief report that describes the theoretical and simulation parts along with their results, and comment on any discrepancy observed between calculated and simulated results. Clearly indicate on the cover page of the submission the contribution of each team member as a percentage of the overall effort.
