- For a high Q bandpass filter at 25Hz, a commutating capacitor filter mightbe
- suitable. Note, this is not a "conventional" switched capacitor filter. The best
- reference is in the Bell Systems Technical Journal for September 1960. The
- first use for such a filter was in 1947, and it used a Strowager switch to
- notch out 60Hz.
-
- Basic features:
- - centre frequency defined by digital clock
- - bandwidth defined by resistor and capacitor
- - comb filter response, so low-performance external bandpass filters
- required to remove harmonics
-
- A decade ago I built this:
- - center frequency 8kHz
- - 3dB bandwidth = 4Hz => Q = 2000
- - 30dB down at +- 300Hz
- from
- - 8- way analogue multiplexer
- - 8 capacitors (10% tolerance)
- - one resistor (ditto)
- - digital clock
- - sallen+key bandpass filter
