Any Good Book for Active Filter Desgin?

[Chris Cheung]

Hi,

I need a good book for Active Filter Design. It has to explain the
Theory of Operation of some of the complex Filter configuration such as MFB,
etc. And it has to cover some of the basic stuff such as Bessel,
Butterworth, Sallen-key etc. Any good recommendation?


Thanks

Chris

Williams and Taylor, Electronic Filter Design Handbook, is good. It
also covers LC and some digital filter stuff. The 3rd edition includes
some software.

Don Lancaster's Active Filter Cookbook is great for whipping out
simple, practical filters without a lot of theory, although it does
include the basics. Cheap, too. That's the one I usually reach for
first.

its a bit of a "cook-book" I prefer

The Circuits & Filters Handbook,
ed. Wai-Kai Chen
CRC Press

its got EVERYTHING in it, in as much detail as you like. Zverev is pretty
good, too.

Some good suggestions here so far, I know those books. As a crisp
theory-and-practice reference (it was written as an engineering text, but
from long, long practical experience -- an unusual combination in
electronics today) I can recommend nothing more strongly than van
Valkenberg's book from the 1980s (ISBN 0195107349), it is fairly available
on the used market and probably in technical libraries.
