High-Order Passive Filter with Capacitive Inner Tapping Technique - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17659759 Titled 'High-Order Passive Filter with Capacitive Inner Tapping Technique'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a high-order filter that uses a capacitive inner tapping technique. The filter consists of an inductor and three resonant circuits. The first resonant circuit, made up of a portion of the inductor and a capacitor, attenuates certain frequency components of the input signal above a specific frequency to produce a filtered signal. The second resonant circuit, also consisting of a portion of the inductor and a capacitor, further attenuates the same frequency components to generate the filtered signal. The third resonant circuit, comprising another portion of the inductor and a capacitor, attenuates different frequency components of the filtered signal above the cutoff frequency to generate an output signal.


Original Abstract Submitted

A high-order filter with a capacitive inner tapping technique is disclosed. The filter includes an inductor and a first resonant circuit including a first portion of the inductor and a first capacitor. The first resonant circuit is configured to attenuate first frequency components of an input signal above a cutoff frequency to generate a filtered signal. The filter further includes a second resonant circuit coupled in parallel with the first resonant circuit and including the first portion of the inductor and a second capacitor. The second resonant circuit is configured to attenuate the first frequency components of the input signal to generate the filtered signal. A third resonant circuit includes a second portion of the inductor and a third capacitor, wherein the third resonant circuit is configured to attenuate second frequency components of the filtered signal above the cutoff frequency to generate an output signal.
