Harmonic Distortion in a Class of Linear Active Filter Networks

Authors: Billam, Peter J.

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 26 · Issue 6 · pp. 426–429 · June 1978

Abstract

Due to the positive feedback inherent in most active filter networks, any harmonic distortion in the amplifier is worsened. This worsening is calculated analytically for a certain class of networks, and a simple but accurate breadboard method for its measurement is suggested.
