Higher or<strong>de</strong>r bandpass filters enable to reach higher rejections, as <strong>de</strong>picted in Figure<br />

In case of high or<strong>de</strong>r bandpass filters, some particular associations of transfer function<br />

coefficients can be achieved [II.2]. Such filter aims at getting the flatter passband<br />

(Butterworth topologies) or the steeper roll-off allowing some ripple in the passband or in the<br />

stopband (Chebychev type I or II filters). Some filters present an equalized ripple in the<br />

passband and in the stopband and also have the fastest transitions. These filters are known as<br />

elliptic. A comparison between these filters is performed in Figure 53 and Figure 54.<br />
