Q. [6, 4] Input impedance of a LC ladder filter has been found to be:

1
𝑍𝑖𝑛 =
1
𝑠+ 1
2𝑠 + 1
𝑠+1

a. Make the two normalized ladder filter circuits to implement this impedance.
𝑁(𝑠)
b. Simplify the above expression in the form of 𝑍𝑖𝑛 = 𝐷(𝑠).

Solution:

a. The two circuits are as follows:

b.

1 1 1 1 1
𝑍𝑖𝑛 = = = = =
1 1 1 𝑠+1 𝑠[2𝑠(𝑠 + 1) + 1] + 𝑠 + 1
𝑠+ 1 𝑠+ 1 𝑠+ 𝑠+
2𝑠(𝑠 + 1) + 1 2𝑠(𝑠 + 1) + 1 2𝑠(𝑠 + 1) + 1
2𝑠 + 1 2𝑠 + 𝑠 + 1
𝑠+1
𝑠+1
2𝑠(𝑠 + 1) + 1 2𝑠 2 + 2𝑠 + 1 2𝑠 2 + 2𝑠 + 1
= = =
𝑠[2𝑠(𝑠 + 1) + 1] + 𝑠 + 1 𝑠[2𝑠 2 + 2𝑠 + 1] + 𝑠 + 1 2𝑠 3 + 2𝑠 2 + 𝑠 + 𝑠 + 1
2𝑠 2 + 2𝑠 + 1
