Problem 2. Cascaded first-order circuits
Waves in the EEG cover a range from about 1 to 40 Hz. We need digital filters to separate
the closely spaced 8, 0, α, ẞ, and y wave ranges, but before sampling we should apply an
analog band-pass filter that attenuates low-frequency drift and high-frequency noise. Using
the following process, design the filter to have cutoff frequencies near 1.5 Hz and 300 Hz
and a gain near (but not equal to) one in the pass band.
1. For this problem, let's use a pair of cascaded first-order circuits that includes one
operational amplifier (op-amp), two resistors R1 and R2, one inductor, and one
capacitor. Your four components can produce two pairs of cutoff frequencies.
a. Write these frequencies in terms of L, C, R1 and R2.
b. Assume that we have a 3.3 µF (microfarad) capacitor and 0.68 H inductor. Calculate
the resistor value needed to produce the desired cutoff frequencies with the
inductor and with the capacitor. Choose the pairs that allow you to use resistances
between 1 kQ and 1 MQ.
c. If we had to choose resistor values from those listed below, how much error would
there be between our desired cutoff frequency and the cutoff frequency calculated
using the real resistors?
Common 5% resistor values
