A new design procedure for single-opamp low-power, discrete-component, lowselectivity, low-sensitivity and low-noise active-RC band-pass filters. Considering all performance characteristics the advantages of the new design technique outweigh those of other design techniques, for example cascade of Biquads. Using a so-called ‘lossy’ LP-BP transformation, closed-form design equations for the design of secondto eighth-order, single-amplifier BP filters are presented.
