How Is a Second Order Chebyshev Passband Filter Designed?

[cathode-ray]

Homework Statement

Get the transfer function of a second order Chebyshev passband filter, with central frequency f0 = 1 [kHz], lower cutoff frequency fc=670 [Hz], 3dB ripple in the pass-band and 30dB of gain in the central frequency.

Homework Equations

Maximum allowed variation in passband transmission A_{max}=10log(1+ε^2)
Transfer function of Chebyshev filter T(s)=\frac{Kw_{p}^N}{ε2^{N-1}(s-p_{1})...(s-p_{N})}
Chebyshev filter poles p_{k}=-w_{p}sin(\frac{(2k-1)\pi}{2N})sinh(\frac{1}{N}sinh^{-1}(\frac{1}{ε}))+jw_{p}cos(\frac{(2k-1)\pi}{2N})cosh(\frac{1}{N}sinh^{-1}(\frac{1}{ε})), k=1,2,...,N
N is the order of the filter
K is the gain

The Attempt at a Solution

Hi,

My first attempt, to this problem was to calculate ε through A_{max} and get the two poles(which are conjugated) through the expression given, considering w_{p} as 670\times2\pi. I then had all that was needed to build the transfer function. The problem is that this is the transfer function for a low pass filter. I have no idea how to get the pass band filter at this point, and I am also not sure if what i did is correct.

If you wan the correct answer without the details, go to www.filterfree.com. Stipulate chebyshev bandpass type 1, 2nd order, input your upper & lower cutoff frequencies and midband gain, 3dB passband ripple, and get the answer.

I made a search in the web before coming here and also found that document, but it didnt helped :S .

I recall from my uni days that there are transforms to convert the LP to a HP, and also to a BP. That's why design equations deal only with the LP. Searching, I found mention on wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_transformations#Bandform_transformation

I think you are just looking for a second order system, of the form A.s / (s² + bs +c)
so it won't have ripple as such, there's only the one peak in the response, it's bandwidth being measured between the pair of -3dB points.

Beyond this, I'm of no help here, sorry.

SORRY, N/O. I'll try to figure out how I got their site. definitely did, only yesterday. Stay tuned, it's worth it.

OK, found the problem - the site is www.nuhertz.com. Scroll down to the "Filter Free" downlink.

I finally found the answer and the mistake i was making :D. To design the filter i was considering initially a second order low pass Chebyshev filter, with the specified characteristics, and then i applied the frequency transformation to make it a band pass. However to make the transformation what i needed was a first order low pass Chebyshev filter that as a transfer function of the form:

T(S)=\frac{1}{S-p_{1}}​

where S is the normalized frequency with respect to the central frequency:

S=\frac{s}{w_{p}}​

I then calculated the pole p_{1} of the filter, using the expression i took from the "Microelectronic Circuits", which gave me p_{1}=-1. Thus the transfer function for the low pass filter is:

T(S)=\frac{1}{S+1}​

To make it a band pass filter i used a frequency transformation:

S\rightarrow\frac{S^{2}+1}{2\xi S}​

After making the transformation i ended up with a band pass second order Chebyshev filter , with the desired characteristics, of the form:

T(S)=\frac{s}{\frac{s^{2}}{B}+s+\frac{w_{p}^{2}}{B}}​

B is the bandwidth

In order to have the gain of 30dB at the central frequency i multiplied the transfer function for a constant k and calculated what value it had to have at s=jw_{p}.Then i finally got the desired result:

T(S)=\frac{s}{\frac{s^{2}}{Bk}+\frac{s}{k}+\frac{w_{p}^{2}}{Bk}}​

Thanks for all the replies!
