DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF ANALOG FILTERS A Signal ...

Features of this book that may be of interest include the following:
There are over 200 figures in the book. Many of these figures report
basic characteristics of given analog filter design methods: these data
graphs were obtained from MATLAB simulations.
The data graphs mentioned immediately above include the magnitude
frequency response, the phase response, phase delay, group delay, unit
impulse response, and unit step response, for several filter orders.
These data graphs are for filters with a normalized 3 dB cutoff
frequency for ease of comparing different filters.
Not only are all of the classical filter design methods covered
(Butterworth, Chebyshev Type I, Chebyshev Type II, Bessel, and
elliptic), but other methods are also included: Gaussian, Legendre,
ultraspherical, Papoulis, and Halpern.
There are over 100 examples in the book.
There is a total of 345 homework problems in the book, appearing at
the ends of the chapters.
On the accompanying disk (standard 3 1/2 inch PC floppy) there is over
30 MATLAB m-files and functions written specifically for this book.
The functions include filter designs for Gaussian, Legendre, ultraspherical,
Papoulis, and Halpern filters. See Appendix B for a
complete list of the contents of the disk.
A solutions manual, containing the solutions for selected homework
problems, is available from the publisher for qualified instructors who
have adopted the book for classroom use.
This book has grown out of the author’s experience of teaching a course on
analog filters over the past ten years. The author would like to express his
appreciation to the classes of students at Wichita State University who have taken the
course on analog filters with the author, have suffered through earlier manuscript
versions that preceded this book, and offered comments and suggestions toward
improving the final result. Being their teacher has been a rewarding experience.
