Higher order filters can be formed by cascading first and second order filters. But in second order high pass filter stop band will be twice that of first order filter at 40dB/Decade. The frequency response of second order high pass filter is similar to the first order high pass filter. In second order high pass filter, an additional block of an RC network is added to the first order high pass filter at the input path. The filter circuits we saw till now are all considered as first order high pass filters.
Using this active element we can control the cutoff frequency and output response range of the filter. High Pass Filter using Op-amp is also known as an active high pass filter because along with passive elements capacitor and resistor an active element Op-amp is used in the circuit. When low tolerance resistors and capacitors are used these High Pass Active filters provide good accuracy and performance. Where Af is passband gain of the filter = 1+( R2)/R1į is the frequency of the input signal in Hz The gain of the filter using non inverting Op-amp is given by:ĪV = Vout/Vin = (Af (f/fc))/√(1+ (f/fc)^2 ) The response of the circuit is similar to passive high pass filter but here gain of the Op-amp amplifies the amplitude of the output signal. The gain of the amplifier reduces to 0 dB with the increase in input frequency. The open loop voltage gain of Op-amp acts as a limitation to the bandwidth of the amplifier. Hence this filter acts as a band-pass filter with a cut off frequency which is defined by the bandwidth and gain characteristics of Op-amp. Instead of getting an infinite output response, here the output response is limited by open loop characteristics of the Op-amp. In this high pass filter along with passive filter elements, we add Op-amp to the circuit. By proper selection of filter components, we can adjust the range of frequencies to be attenuated, the range to be passed etc… High Pass Filter using Op-Amp The electrical characteristic of the filter elements applies the limitation to the filter response. In practical application, the output response of filter does not extend to infinity. The formula to calculate the phase shift of high pass filter is The phase angle of the output signal is +450 at the cut off frequency. For example, if the bandwidth of the high pass filter is given as 50 kHz it means that only frequencies from 50 kHz to infinity are allowed to pass. Here bandwidth of the filter denotes the value of frequency from which signals are allowed to pass. At cutoff frequency, point output voltage amplitude will be 70.7% of the input voltage. The region from above the cutoff frequency point. The region from the initial point to cutoff frequency point is known as stop band as no frequencies are allowed to pass. after passing cutoff frequency level the output response of the circuit increases from 0 to Vin at a rate of +20 dB per decade which is 6 dB increase per octave. The slope of high pass filter curve is +20 d B/ decade. At this cut off frequency point we get -3dB gain and at this point reactance of the capacitor and resistor values will be same. In high pass filter, all frequencies lying below the cutoff frequency ‘fc’ are attenuated. High Pass Filter Frequency Response or High Pass Filter Bode Plot In High Pass Filter gain increases with an increase in frequencies. When we talk about cutoff frequency we refer to the point in the frequency response of the filter where the gain is equal to 50% the peak gain of the signal. Here capacitor is the reactive element and output is drawn across the resistor. There is no need of applying external power for working of the filter. The above shown High Pass filter is also known as Passive RC High Pass filter as the circuit is built using only passive elements. At frequencies above cut off frequency level reactance of the capacitor becomes low and it acts as a short circuit to these frequencies thereby allowing them to pass directly to the output. Filter attenuates all the signals below the cutoff frequency level. In this circuit arrangement, the capacitor has high reactance at lower frequencies so it acts as an open circuit to the low-frequency input signals until cutoff frequency ‘fc’ is reached.
