With C1 = 330 pF and C2 = 4.

7 nF, the values for R1 and R2 are:

D R1 = 1.45 kΩ, with the closest 1% value being 1.47 kΩ
D R2 = 4.51 kΩ, with the closest 1% value being 4.53 kΩ

Figure 16–22 shows the final filter circuit with its partial filter stages.

16.4 High-Pass Filter Design

By replacing the resistors of a low-pass filter with capacitors, and its capacitors with resis-
tors, a high-pass filter is created.

Figure 16–23. Low-Pass to High-Pass Transition Through Components Exchange

To plot the gain response of a high-pass filter, mirror the gain response of a low-pass filter
at the corner frequency, Ω=1, thus replacing Ω with 1/Ω and S with 1/S in Equation 16–1.
