In accordance with Equations 16–14 and 16–15, the mid frequencies for the partial filters

are:

f mi + 10 kHz + 9.653 kHz and f m2 + 10 kHz·1.036 + 10.36 kHz

1.036

The overall Q is defined as Q + f mńB , and for this example results in Q = 10.

Using Equation 16–16, the Qi of both filters is:

ǒ1 ) 1.036 2Ǔ·1
Q i + 10· + 14.15
1.036·1.4142

With Equation 16–17, the passband gain of the partial filters at fm1 and fm2 calculates to:

A mi + 14.15 ·
10
Ǹ11 + 1.415
The Equations 16–16 and 16–17 show that Qi and Ami of the partial filters need to be inde-
pendently adjusted. The only circuit that accomplishes this task is the MFB band-pass fil-
ter in Paragraph 16.5.1.2.

To design the individual second-order band-pass filters, specify C = 10 nF, and insert the
previously determined quantities for the partial filters into the resistor equations of the
MFB band-pass filter. The resistor values for both partial filters are calculated below.

Figure 16–35 compares the gain response of a fourth-order Butterworth band-pass filter
with Q = 1 and its partial filters to the fourth-order gain of Example 16–4 with Q = 10.
