 Objective

On completing this topic, you would be able to know

about,

• Second order high pass Butterworth filter

• Design of second order high pass Butterworth filter

AEI505.40 2
 Recap

In the previous class we have studied about

• First order high pass Butterworth filter

AEI505.40 3
 Second Order High Pass Butterworth
Filter

• It can be formed by interchanging resistors & capacitors

of second order LPF

• An additional RC network is used to the first order high

pass filter

AEI505.40 4
• Gain is set by R1 & RF

• fL is determined by R2, C2, R3 and C3

Gain magnitude =
Vin √ (1+f/fL)4

where

AF =1+RF/R1 =1.586 = Pass band gain

f = Frequency of input signal

• In stop band the gain increases at the rate of

40dB/decade

AEI505.40 9
Design

• Choose a value of high cutoff frequency , fL

• Set R2 = R3 = R & C2 = C3 = C, then choose a value of

C ≤ 1μF

AEI505.40 10
• Calculate R = 1/2πfLC

• As R2 = R3 & C2 = C3, so RF = 0.586R1 choose R1 ≤ 100k

& calculate RF
