data filter - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I'm looking for an active filter for my 10kbps TTL data line.

Any ideas what the lowest possible Fc can be for the filter? Any suggestions for MFG's of such filters?

Thank you

Hi,
The answer to your question probably comes from several other questions:
1. Why do you want a filter at all?
2. Where is the data going?
3. How much stop-band attenuation do you really need?
4. How much are you willing to pay for the very narrowest possible bandwidth?

The (unattainable!) limit would be 5 kHz. Any reasonably narrow filter will either require a phase equalizer to remove inter-symbol interference, or be many stages of (approximately) linear phase filtering, such as Bessel filters.

Most filters are either custom-made (read $$$) or do-it-yourself with building blocks from an IC company such as Linear Technology (www.linear.com). LTC offers free design software for their chips.

Good Luck!
