Abstract

Filters are two-port devices designed in such a way so that a group of specified frequencies is allowed to pass with little attenuation, while unwanted frequencies are rejected. They can also be designed to symmetrically or asymmetrically modify the amplitude and/or phase of a signal. Filters are used widely in military or civilian communication systems — they are used to control the frequency response of a device, provide a means of channel separation in frequency division multiplexing systems, remove harmonics in oscillators or amplifiers, and are employed for noise reduction and to reject signals at particular frequencies.
