This lecture covers the analysis and design of second-order active KRC band pass and notch filters using operational amplifiers. For the band pass filter, the resonant frequency is derived as f₀ = √(2)/(2πRC) and the quality factor as Q = √(2)/(4-K), where K = 1 + RA/RB. The design process involves selecting equal component values (R1=R2=R3=R, C1=C2=C) and calculating RA and RB based on desired specifications. For the notch filter (band reject filter), also called twin-T network, the notch frequency is f₀ = 1/(2πRC) and quality factor Q = 1/(4-2K). Both filter types are verified using LTspice simulations to ensure practical implementation accuracy.
