Description

SPECIFICATION Improvements in electrical transfer filters Field of the invention This invention relates two an electrical transfer filter, i.e. an active filter having a Laplace transfer function selected to provide for transmission of an electrical signal therethrough in accordance with inter-related magnitude and phase shift characteristics.
Background to the invention Concurrent U.K. Patent Application No. describes an active acoustic attenuation device in which a -microphone and a loudspeaker are coupled via an amplifier means which, in a preferred arrangement, incorporates a transfer filter adapted to facilitate production of a cancallation signal which maximises noise attenuation at the loudspeaker.
Object of the invention It is an object of this invention to provide a transfer filter having characteristics which make it particularly suitable for use in the noise attenuating device above referred to. However, the transfer filter of this invention is not limited to use in the said noise attenuating device.
The invention According to the invention, there is provided an electrical transfer filter characterised by the Laplace transfer function: A.10 9SZ+B.10 5S+1 C.10 9S2+D.10 105+1 where S V71 w, and wherein 2 < Ac3 7 < B < 9 ltC < 2 2.5 < D < 4 In one particular example of the filter: A=2.37 B=7.99 C=1.67 D=3.26.
The particular transfer filter is especially suited to use in the noise attenuating device hitherto referred to.
A preferred construction of filter comprises a first operational amplifier with resistive feedback fed with the input signal and the output of which is fed to a second operational amplifier with capacitive feedback, the output of which is in turn fed to a third operational amplifier with capacitive feedback, the output of the second operational amplifier also being fed to a fourth operational amplifier with resistive feedback, and the output of the fourth operational amplifier being fed back to the first operational amplifier and fed on to a fifth operative amplifier with resistive feedback, which last-mentioned amplifier provides the output and is also fed at its input with the outputs of the first and third operational amplifiers, the output of the third operational amplifier also being fed back to the first operational amplifier.
Description of drawings A practical example of transfer filter in accordance with the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanyaing drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a circuit diagram of-the filter; and Figures 2A and 2B are graphs respectively showing the magnitude and phase shift characteristics of the filter.
Description of embodiment The circuit shown in Fig. 1 is apparent from the drawing, and comprises operational amplifiers IC1 to IC5 connected in circuit with a plurality of feedback paths utilising resistors R1 to R12 and capacitors C1, C2. Resistors R2, R8 and R11, the capacitors C1 and C2, respectively provide feedback from output to-input at the respective amplifiers IC1, IC4, CS, IC2 and IC3.
The 9V power supply (positive and negative) at each amplifier is also indicated. The input (x) to the circuit is also shown, together with the output (y).
The component values are as follows: K ohm R1 27.4 R2 56.2 R3 27.4 R4 15.0 R5 15.0 R6 47.5 R7 33.2 R8 10.0 R9 10.0 R10 51.1 R11 33.2 R12 24.0 nF C1 3.9 C2 3.9 The operational amplifiers are typically Texas Instruments type TL071 or equivalent.
The filter shown in Fig. 1, given the absolute component values specified above, has the transfer function:
2.37.10 9 S2+7.99.1015 S+1 Y= x 1.67.10 9S2+3.26.10 5S+1 wherein S=jw and j'= V71.
Figs. 2A and 2B show the filter transfer function characteristics for magnitude and phase shift, respectively.
The detailed circuit shown in Fig. 1 may be modified, especially in respect of the component values, within limits which maintain the same general transfer function, in accordance with the ranges hereinbefore set forth.
