Definitions
The following terms and definitions will aid you in
specifying a filter for your application. Please refer to
p134 for a guide to ordering your filter.
Centre Frequency (f0)
nThe arithmetic mean of the passband limits or the
defined nominal frequency
Passband (BW1)
nThe range of frequencies attenuated less than a
specified value, typically 3dB or 6dB.
Stopband (BW2)
nThe range of frequencies attenuated greater than a
specified minimum level of attenuation, typically
40dB or 60dB.
Insertion Loss
nThe loss at centre frequency or at the maximum
transmission level normally expressed in dB as a re-
sult of inserting the filter into the circuit
Ripple
nThe amplitude difference in dB between the maxi-
mum passband peak and the minimum passband
valley. Both peak and valley are defined by a sur-
rounding change in slope, i.e. The sign of the am-
plitude response.
Guaranteed Attenuation
nA minimum attenuation in dB by which a specified
frequency band either side of F0must be guaran-
teed.
Source & Load Impedance
nSource Impedance: The impedance driving the filter.

nLoad Impedance: The impedance of the circuit ter-
minating the filter.
Shape Factor
nRatio of bandwidths, normally stopband and pass-
band of filter.
Spurious Attenuation
nThe specified minimum level of attenuation re-
ceived by all non-harmonic related resonances of
each crystal resonator within the filter network.
Maximum Drive Level
nFor continuous operation normally specified in
dBm.
Linear Phase Characteristics
nThe term phase shift is defined as ‘phase shift of
output voltage with respect to input voltage as a
function of frequency’. There are two ways to spec-
ify this:-
By directly defining the slope per segment of band-
width
N2£Ndegrees/kHz £N1
or by the phase shift derivative with respect to
frequency, i.e. Group Delay
()
Tg ff
=´
jj
21
21
360
where Tg = Group delay in seconds
and j1&j2are phase shift at frequency f1&f2
(measured in degrees and Hertz)
nThe phase slope is proportional to the number of
poles and inversly proportional to bandwidth. The
2nd order characteristic is dependant upon filter
design i.e. Butterworth, Chebychev, Bessel, how-
ever for a given number of poles phase distortion
will increase with selectivity.
nPhase linearity is a different parameter and is sensi-
tive to ambiant conditions such as temperature, vi-
bration & termination impedances.
Inband Intermodulation Distortion
nThe attenuation, in dB, of 3rd and higher order sig-
nal products, inband, relative to the power level of
two signals placed within the passband.
Out of Band Intermodulation Distortion
nThe attenuation, in dB, of 3rd and higher order sig-
nal products, inband, relative to the power level of
two signals placed in the stopband, or one tone in
the transition region and the other in the stopband.
