Elliptic Filters ‘The magnitude squared frequency response of the normalized low-pass elliptic filter of order nis defined by pa | +e R(0) where R,(@) is a Chebyshev rational function of @ determined from the specified ripple characteristics (were) nodd neven Figure 1: Magnitude squared frequency response of elliptic LP filters of odd and even orders. Unlike the Butterworth and Chebyshev filters, o=1 is calculated using foo, -1 Report errors to mdwoodford@characterlink.netA parameter, @, representing the sharpness of the transition region is defined as, o, a Thus a large value of @, indicates a large transition band, while a small value of 7, indicates a small transition band. ‘The general transfer function H,, (3), for the normalized low-pass elliptic filter is given from odd and even n by H s+ Ay H,(s)= cd = Catan B, Mt HW 5 even To design a filter 1, H/),5,4,By.Bo, have to be determined from the design specifications a o¢€ Qa QB) or equivalently G,,G, and «, where G= 2 = 20log|H, (7,)] G,= 2ote = log|H,(jo,)), By finding the G, and G, in this fashion, the ©, requirement will not be satisfied exactly; however, an «, can be selected that exceeds the requirements, Report errors to mdwoodford@characterlink.netDetermination of n for Normalized Elliptic Filters The design of a low-pass normalized elliptic filter to satisfy the specifications G,,G, and , using Table 3.6 is straight forward.
