    square wave -->sine using passive bandpass filter

    is there any freeware that you may know of that I can use to simulate the performance of my filtering circuit? I don't have the radio with me as I'm on vacation from the lab so I don't have a chance to do some testing of the audio quality of sending a square wave into the mic input of the radio...

    square wave -->sine using passive bandpass filter

    Thanks VE1BLL. I was once told about the passband filter within the radio. I wasn't sure if I should just assume that this already exists in the radio. The radio is the VX3R. Is there any way I can look this up for sure? Thanks, windell

    square wave -->sine using passive bandpass filter

    would it be better if I put the capacitor at the end of the butterworth filter? or how about at the output of the opamp so that there is more current flowing?

    square wave -->sine using passive bandpass filter

    I guess i was reading that for active filters the number of opamps usually identify the amount of poles in the filter. And for a single pole filter TI's filter pro only comes up with a single op amp so I assumed that a salleen filter with a single opamp was a single pole filter. Of course I...

    square wave -->sine using passive bandpass filter

    yeah im sorry, I just want to try to follow the books as much as possible because this circuit is being reviewed by other members on my team and I need to make sure that I can analyze everything and not wing anything. I really like your 2 pole butterworth filter. To filter out the DC component...

    square wave -->sine using passive bandpass filter

    I apologize for making a new thread I thought it was a little bit different of an idea, but after thinking about it, it is pretty much the same. So I guess to get the unattenuated sine wave at 1020Hz and to filter out the DC component, it would probably be best for me to go with an active...

    square wave -->sine using passive bandpass filter

    Thanks! to make ease of calculating the correct values I was thinking about using a 2 pole lowpass butterworth filter. I guess TI's filter pro can come up with convinient component values for you. Do you see any disadvantages to this? You will see that I put up a new post asking about this. I...

    low pass filtering of square wave to get sine wave

    I'm filtering a 1020Hz 3.3V squarewave from a microprosessor using a 2 pole low pass butterworth filter. Thanks to TI for their filter pro! I would like the output frequency of filter to be a 1020Hz sine wave. I realize that if I select the cutoff frequency at 1020Hz that my sine wave will be...

    square wave -->sine using passive bandpass filter

    I'll be putting a noninverting amplifier at the end of the double stage filter do make use of the high output impedance of the opamp. Do you think that that will solve the parasitic effects? Also I think you 1000k value isn't correct if a 0.47uF capacitor is used. Are there any advantages to...

    square wave -->sine using passive bandpass filter

    This is wonderful! This might seem a little dumb, but is there a way I can see that there is no components lower than the fundamental frequency of the square wave? I see the that first couple terms of the fourier transform of the square waves is .... ((4k)/pi)*(sinx+0.33sin3x+0.20sin5x...)...

    square wave -->sine using passive bandpass filter

    Should I not pass the single through a band pass or is a low pass filter enough? The frequency of interest is 1020Hz or about 1kHz.

    square wave -->sine using passive bandpass filter

    Thank you for the reply! In using your suggestion, how to I filter out the higher harmonics? Could you direct me to a resource showing me what the cutoff frequencies are for your circuit? Also...what is the gain after the cutoff frequency? thanks, windell

    High voltage DC to AC converter

    5Hz sinusoid preferably... could also use a square waveform, but not as preferable. The current requirement I know is small (mA range), but I still need to calculate it.

    square wave -->sine using passive bandpass filter

    Hi, I'm designing a circuit that will take a square wave generated by a microprocessor and feeds it through a bandpass filter to get a sine wave. The application will be to provide a tone for morse code to a handheld ham radio on board a small satellite. Right now im considering remaining...

    High voltage DC to AC converter

    Hi, I'm working on a dust repulsion circuit that requires >3000VAC at about 5Hz. I know that there are florescent light bulb power supplies that go from 12DC to 1kV-->7kV. These are perfect except the output frequency is around 30kHz. I really need the 5Hz part. Any ideas? I would prefer...

    compiler recommendations for MSP430

    Hi, I'm looking for an easy to use and good debugging compiler for the MSP430 microproccessor. Price is not a key factor compared to the ease of use and usefulness of the libraries. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance! Windell

    12VDC cooling fan

    To answer Keith's question, the depth of the current generation of the system is 100 meters. A future generation is planned for 6000 meters so im sure there will be some major design changes.
