LOW-PASS TO BAND-STOP
TRANSFORMATION
The transformation of a low-pass filter into a band-
stop filter
is
similar
to
the bandpass transform.
R
=
l/U(T
-
1/77)
The resulting transformation of circuit-element values is
shown in Fig. 19.
NUMERICAL EXAMPLES
Example
1
A
low-pass filter with input impedance of 600 ohms
and output impedance less than or equal to 600 ohms is
needed to pass frequencies up to 3.4 kHz with less than
0.05 dB attenuation and to attenuate frequencies at 8.0
kHz and above by at least 45 dB (Fig. 20). Design both
a Cauer-parameter and a Chebyshev low-pass to meet
the requirement.
The value of
a,
for the reference low-pass
is
calculated
R,
=
8000/3400
=
2.353
Cauer-Parameter Design-To determine the
Cauer-parameter low-pass, use Fig. 9 and proceed
as
follows.
Find the
45-dB
(A,)
line on the grid
(l),
and move to
the crossing with the
A,
=
0.05 line (2). From this
intersection (3), move to the left
to
intersect with the
curves of degree versus cutoff rate. Note that for degree
3,
R,
is
5.0;
for degree 4,
a,
G
2.9. Not until the
curve for degree
5
is reached is an
Rs
<
2.353 attained
(0,
G
1.65).
So
a fifth-order low-pass with
A,
=
45 dB,
A,
=
0.05 dB and
a,
=
1.65 can be designed to meet the
specified requirements. The tables included here are
limited, however,
so
they must be checked to see what is
available. From Table 4 (for filters of degree 5),
=
37"
with
10%
reflection (0.044 dB) and
a,
=
1.66164
meets the requirements. The normalized low-pass is
shown
in
Fig.
21.
Since only an
a,
5
2.353
is
required, some over-
design can be accomplished. Generally, the losses erode
the passband performance more rapidly than the stop-
band performance.
As
a result, the reference frequency
(fief)
can be chosen such thatti
=
8000
Hz.
fief
=
4.6245 kHz

600 ohms,

Chebyshev Design-To determine the Chebyshev
low-pass, use Fig. 12 and proceed as for the Cauer-
parameter design. Here
N
=
5
results in
0,
2.7, and
N
=
6
provides
a,
=
2.1. Thus
a
sixth-order filter
is
required. From Table
9
for sixth degree and
10%
reflection coefficient the normalized low-pass
is
as
shown in Fig. 22.
