Let us look at Circuit 1 from our Review Example handout. We
must already begin to think in terms of the application; if C, and C2
are chosen poorly it becomes a "no-pass" filter, if chosen well it is a band
pass filter. To be a band pass filter C\>C,.

Clearly the transfer function has one zero (in fact, there is a second zero
at infinity) and two poles.
The zero is at s=0 and the poles are at the roots of the denominator
of Equation 1; w,, and ®,) are obtained from factoring the
denominator, i.e., by writing the denominator as
(s+w,;)(s+W,:)=0 Eq. 2
and solving for the values of s that satisfy Equation 2, By doing so we
obtain, using the quadratic equation,

We can find the low frequency pole from Equation 2 and the
denominator of Equation 1 (see page 7). To do so we can write Equation
2as (stW,)(S+W,.)=9'+(w,,+W9)S+W,,W,.=0 and, equating
this with the denominator of Equation 1, we have that
