A BSTRACT
Active filters are analog circuits that are used to implement elec-
tronic filters to filter out certain frequencies. i.e. attenuate some
frequencies and pass the other. In this experiment we are going to
design active filter using active component opamp and passive com-
ponents like resistance and capacitance. We would be implementing
four types of
I I NTRODUCTION
We would we designing four types of filters in this experiment
namely Low pass, High pass, Band pass, Band Reject. The cir-
cuits are designed using opamp LM324N [?] All the datasheets
are attached for reference.

III C ONCLUSIONS
We can see that the first order active filter can be easily imple-
mented using opamp. As can be seen from the matlab plots
each active filter effectively attenuates the amplitde of output
signal depending on the 3dB frequency set by R1 and C1 . Also
at very high frequency we can notice the fall in amplitude (as
can be seen in plot of band pass filter), which is due to the
slew rate of the opamp. The first order filter designed can have
various practical applications like filtering out one frequency
sinusoidal signal from another, etc.
