Active low-pass filter design

The characteristics of Bessel, Butterworth, and Chebyshev filters are briefly reviewed. The "Rauch" RC active low-pass filter configuration is described and design formulae are obtained. Tables of normalized capacitor values are provided for Bessel, Butterworth, and ±½ dB, ±1 dB, ±2 dB, and ±3 dB Chebyshev filters. Two examples indicate the use of the tables.
