The high sensitivity to passive components spread limits the use of the Sallen-Key<br />

bandpass filter in an industrial environment. The Rauch structure allows a <strong>de</strong>crease in the<br />

sensitivity to passive components, as it will <strong>de</strong>tail later on.<br />

Besi<strong>de</strong>s, both Rauch and Sallen-Key filters present a stability issue. The Sallen-Key<br />

stability condition is much more attractive since it mentions that K should be lower than a<br />

certain value Kstab_SK. The Rauch filter stability condition is K>Kstab_R. Hence, the drop of the<br />

gain K with frequency prevents from using this filter, unless a solution is found to circumvent<br />

this issue.<br />

Table 20 summarizes the different advantages and drawbacks of each bandpass filter.<br />
