I'm looking at a guide by Texas Instruments on active filter design. In it are the following equations for a second order lowpass filter, verbatim:
The coefficient form of the denominator: s^2 + a_1s + a_0
Normalized: P(s) = (\frac{s}{\sqrt{a_0}*\omega_c})^2 + \frac{a_1s}{a_0*\omega_c} + 1
Substituting s = j2\pi f, \omega_c = 2\pi f_c, a_1 = \frac{1}{Q}, \sqrt{a_0} = FSFP(f) = -(\frac{f}{FSF*f_c})^2 + \frac{1}{Q}\frac{jf}{FSF*fc} + 1
Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but why is it that it is not FSF^2 in the second term of the last equation, if \sqrt{a_0} = FSF?
