Filters and Signals

Published tools in this category solve distinct design decisions. Each keeps its assumptions, limits, and next decision visible.

Exact ideal relationship

RL low-pass and high-pass filter

Calculate ideal first-order RL filter cutoff frequency and magnitude response from total series resistance and inductance.

Exact lumped-element relationship

Passive RLC filter designer

Calculate ideal series-RLC resonant frequency, Q, and bandwidth for a passive filter stage.

Exact ideal relationship

Sallen-Key low-pass designer

Calculate ideal equal-component Sallen-Key low-pass natural frequency and the Q set by the non-inverting gain.

Exact ideal relationship

Multiple-feedback filter designer

Check the ideal normalized second-order low-pass magnitude and phase checkpoint at the natural frequency for a target Q.

Exact ideal relationship

State-variable filter designer

Check the ideal unity-normalized low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass magnitude checkpoint at the natural frequency.

Convert a linear amplitude or power ratio to decibels using the correct 20 log10 or 10 log10 relationship.

Exact ideal relationship

Coherent sampling planner

Find the coherent test-tone frequency for a chosen FFT bin, sample rate, and record length, and check the coprime condition.
