Abstract :
Analysis of both the output noise and the large-signal harmonic distortion in terms of block diagrams allows the total dynamic range of active filters to be predicted theoretically. This leads to optimisation and comparison of single and multiple-amplifier RC and OTA-C second-order bandpass filter circuits
