The reader may believe that this is an outdated technology. However, it is stillbeingusedandmoreimportantlythetheorybehindalladvancedfilter structures is based on passiveLC filters. This is also the case for digital and switched-capacitor filters. The reader is strongly recommended to carefully study the principle of maximum power transfer, sensitivity to element errors, and the implications of Equation (3.26).

These are useful for veryhigh-frequencyapplications,butalsointhedesignofcorresponding wavedigitalfilters. InChapter5,basiccircuitelementsandtheirdescriptionasone-,two-,and three-portsarediscussed. Chapter 6 discusses first- and second-order sections using single and multiple amplifiers. The reader is recommended to study the implication ofthe gain-sensitivityproductandthetwo-integratorloop.Chapter7d- cusses coupled forms and signal scaling, and Chapter 8 discusses various methods for immitance simulation.
