1. Determine Basic Specifications:


 Center frequency ( f s): 1 kHz
 Bandwidth ( BW ): 200 Hz

 Gain (G ): 10 dB→ V /V =10 20 =3.16

 Input/Output Impedance ( Z ¿, Z out): 1 kΩ

2. Select Filter Topology:


A multi-stage band-pass filter with:
1. An active stage using an op-amp for gain and buffering.
2. Passive components to form the resonant and damping properties.
We'll use the Sallen-Key topology for its simplicity and tunability.

3. Circuit Design:
The transfer function for a Sallen-Key band-pass filter is:
K ⋅s /ω0
H ( s )= 2 2
s + ( s ⋅ω 0 /Q )+ ω0

Where:
 K : Gain factor
 ω 0=2 π f s : Resonant angular frequency
 Q=f s /BW : Quality factor
Calculate Parameters:
 ω 0=2 π ( 1000 )=6283.19 rad/s
 Q=1000 /200=5

4. Component Values:
Gain Stage:
 Use an op-amp with a non-inverting configuration. The gain is set by resistors R1 and R2:
R2
G=1+
R1

Select R1=1 k Ω and R2=2.16 k Ω for G=3.16 .


Passive Components:

ω 0=

√ R 1 R2 C 1 C 2

and Q= 2 ⋅ 1
R1 C 2 √
Choose R1=R 2=1 k Ω, C 1=100 nF, and C 2=100 nF. These values ensure:

ω 0= ≈ 6283.19 rad/s ( 1 kHz )

Adjustments may be needed during tuning for exact Q .

5. Circuit Analysis:
Derive Transfer Function:
For the active band-pass filter, the transfer function becomes:
K ⋅ ( s ⋅ R1 C 1 )
H ( s )=

Substituting K=3.16, ω 0=6283.19, and Q=5 , the transfer function is:


3.16 ⋅ ( s ⋅1 k Ω⋅100 nF )
H ( s )=

6. Validation:
1. Simulate the circuit in a tool like LTSpice or MATLAB to ensure it meets the frequency,
bandwidth, and gain requirements.
2. Fine-tune component values to account for tolerances and real-world effects.

The gain stage is designed by using an op-amp in a non-inverting configuration. The gain (G) is set by two resistors R1 and R2, following the formula G = 1 + (R2/R1). For a gain of 3.16, R1 is set at 1 kΩ and R2 at 2.16 kΩ .

The frequency response of the Sallen-Key band-pass filter is calculated using the function H(s) = K⋅(s⋅R1C1)/(s^2+(s⋅ω0/Q)+ω0^2), where K=3.16, ω0=6283.19, and Q=5. It simplifies to H(s) = 3.16⋅(0.1⋅s)/(s^2 + 1256.64⋅s + 39.48×10^6), allowing for analysis of how the filter attenuates or passes frequencies within and outside the desired band .

The quality factor (Q) is calculated by dividing the center frequency (f_s) by the bandwidth (BW), resulting in Q = 1000/200 = 5. Q is significant as it indicates the selectivity of the filter; a higher Q represents a narrower and more selective bandwidth around the center frequency .

The primary specifications for the band-pass filter are a center frequency of 1 kHz, a bandwidth of 200 Hz, and a gain of 10 dB, equivalent to a voltage gain (V_out/V_in) of 3.16. The input and output impedance are both 1 kΩ .

Adjustments during the tuning process may be necessary to account for component tolerances and real-world effects, which can cause deviations from the ideal calculated values. These adjustments ensure that the filter meets the original design goals precisely while operating in practical conditions .

For the Sallen-Key topology in this design, R1 and R2 are both selected as 1 kΩ, and C1 and C2 are chosen as 100 nF each. These values ensure that the resonant frequency (ω0) remains approximately 6283.19 rad/s (1 kHz), and the quality factor (Q) of 5 is maintained. This satisfies both the center frequency and bandwidth requirements .

The transfer function H(s) = K ⋅(s⋅R1C1)/(s^2+(s⋅ω0/Q)+ω0^2) reflects the design specifications by explicitly including components for the gain factor (K = 3.16), resonant angular frequency (ω0 = 6283.19 rad/s), and quality factor (Q = 5). These variables in the function ensure the filter's frequency response meets the set center frequency and bandwidth .

In the Sallen-Key topology, the mathematical relationships governing the filter design include ω0 = 1/√(R1R2C1C2) for the resonant frequency and Q = √(R2/R1)⋅(C1/C2) for the quality factor. These equations determine how the selected component values will impact the filter's performance, ensuring that it meets the specified frequency and bandwidth .

The Sallen-Key topology is chosen for the band-pass filter design due to its simplicity and tunability. This topology allows for easy calculation and adjustment of component values to meet the design specifications, such as the resonant frequency and quality factor. Its active stage also benefits from op-amp-based buffering and gain .

Simulation tools like LTSpice or MATLAB are used to ensure that the circuit meets the specified frequency, bandwidth, and gain requirements. These tools help validate the design by allowing fine-tuning of component values to account for tolerances and real-world effects that may not have been considered during the initial calculations .
