This document discusses various types of active filter design techniques. It covers the fundamentals of low-pass filters and then describes the design of low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-rejection, and all-pass filters. It also discusses optimization of filter design response types, implementations of first and second order filters, and practical design hints. The goal is to provide an overview of the key aspects of active filter design.

Fundamentals of Low-Pass Filters A filter is a device that passes electric signals at certain frequencies or frequency ranges while preventing the passage of others. Webster.

Has ripple in both passband and stopband, however. Ripple in Passband Ripple in Stopband Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) Filter Design Template Filter in Software Bessel Filter Optimized for linear phase response up to f c Group delay is a measure of the transit time of a signal versus frequency.
Group delay is a useful measure of phase distortion, and is calculated by differentiating the phase response versus frequency. Group Delay Gain and Group Delay of a Bessel Filter Constant Group Delay and Linear Phase in Transition Region Another way to say this is that group delay is a measure of the slope of the transmission phase response. The linear portion of the phase response is converted to a constant value (representing the average signal-transit time) and deviations from linear phase are transformed into deviations from constant group delay. The variations in group delay cause signal distortion, just as deviations from linear phase cause distortion.
