IV.1.c.ii Proposed positive feedback Rauch filter<br />

The positive feedback Rauch filter is proposed, whose schematic is <strong>de</strong>picted in Figure<br />

142, where K is the voltage gain of the voltage amplifier. It shows different tra<strong>de</strong>-offs in<br />

terms of selectivity versus K and passive components values than its negative feedback<br />

counterpart.<br />

Hence, the filter transfer function HR(jω) can be computed as:<br />

The resonant frequency is similar to the Sallen-Key topology. However, in the present<br />

case, the quality factor is:<br />
