Analog and Digital Filters 643

Example 6.17

Create the script fi le butt_implem that returns a third-order analog Butterworth LPF, at

the component level, with wc = 104 rad/s and a load impedance of 100 Ω.

a. Start the design with a third-order normalized prototype LPF and obtain the cor-

responding magnitude and phase plots.

b. Obtain the corresponding transfer function coeffi cients and the system poles (check

for stability).

c. Obtain the normalized fi lter’s transfer function.

d. Use frequency and magnitude scaling to obtain the desired fi lter transfer function.

ANALYTICAL Solution

The structure chosen for the desired LP normalized, third-order fi lter prototype (see

R.6.49) is the π section shown in Figure 6.68.

The transfer function is indicated as follows:
