Electronic filters are electronic circuits that process signals. Usually, determined by the specific application, they are designed to reduce or eliminate undesirable signals, or enhance signals that are desirable to an application. Most electronic filters are of the linear filter type and are usually found in most common electronics and digital signal processors.
Passive electronic filters do not depend on an external power source and do not increase the power of the electrical signal that is filtered through it. Passive electronic filters are constructed from combinations of resistors, inductors, and capacitors. Inductors naturally block high frequencies while conducting low frequencies. Capacitors, on the other hand, do the opposite.
Active electronic filters actually do increase the power of the electrical signal that is filtered through it and the energy that is added to it must come from an external power source that is separate from that which produces the original signal.
Electronic filters attenuate and pass signals. Attenuation is a reduction in the amplitude and intensity of a signal. When a signal flows through an inductor and a grounded capacitor, it provides less attenuation to low frequencies than high frequencies, resulting in a low pass filter. But if a signal flows through a capacitor and a grounded inductor, it results in a high pass filter, which provides less attenuation to high frequencies than low frequencies. Resistors by themselves do not actually provide frequency-specific signal selection, until matched with capacitors and/ or inductors. They are added to capacitors and inductors to determine the frequencies that the circuit filters. Besides the high pass filter and low pass filter, there is also band pass filters, which only passes frequencies in a specific frequency band, band stop filters, in which frequencies in a specific frequency band are attenuated, and all pass filters, in which all frequencies are passed, but the phase of the resultant output is modified.
While an analog filter processes a continuously variable analog signal and exclusively utilizes electronic components such as resistors and capacitors to accomplish the required filtering result, digital filters are a bit more complex. Digital filters are electronic filters that use an analog to digital converter to convert the signal into ones and zeros so as to execute digital mathematical algorithms on the digital signal to achieve a painstakingly specific filtering effect, then convert it back to an analog signal by way of a digital to analog converter. The main advantages of digital filters are the immense flexibility and precise filtering capabilities that are possible, with far superior signal to noise ratios. Digital filters are significantly more expensive than analog filters and the speed of the signal filtering is totally dependent on the speed on the computer that executes the mathematical algorithms.
