Computer‐aided analysis and design of follow‐the‐leader feedback active‐RC networks

The FLF (Follow-the-Leader Feedback) Active-RC Filter is shown to be highly suited to computer-aided optimization and design. The realization of multiple-loop feedback networks which are both low in cost and low in sensitivity is considered. Such a design procedure is based upon the identification of those second order sections (blocks) which most critically affect sensitivity, i.e., the most critical blocks. Critical block analysis is an integral part of the sensitivity analysis, therefore, requires no additional operations.
