Summary
The article discusses the Chebyshev filter, which is characterized by a steep roll-off but exhibits ripple within the pass band, making it unsuitable for audio applications that require a flat frequency response. Unlike typical filters, its cutoff frequency is defined at the point where the response dips below the ripple band. Chebyshev filters are effective in RF applications for eliminating harmonics and intermodulation distortion.Parts used in the 1kHz Chebyshev Filter:
- Inductors
- Capacitors
- Resistors
- Filter design software or tools (for calculating component values)
The Chebyshev filter features a steep roll-off, but has ripple in the pass band. So it is not suited for audio signal use, where a flat response is ideal.
The roll off is so fast that the common definition for cut-off frequency does not work for Chebyshev filters. For this type of filter the cutoff is defined as the frequency at which the response falls below the ripple band. This filter is good for removing harmonics and intermodulation in RF applications.
