DIY Baxandall network

Hi,

Here is an excellent website on designing a baxandall filter:

However if you read a couple of equations into the page the letter 's' is substituted for Laplace's variable.
I have looked at laplace's variable on this site:

But i dont know how to apply it to make the equations work?

Can anyone offer some guidance, a few pokes in the right direction even?

Cheers
Craig

substitute 2*pi*f (frequency, in Hertz) for s and you should be able to move ahead.

If you are concerned with phase, also, you can substitute j*2*pi*f.

j is defined equal to the square-root of -1. Essentially it represents a 90 degree phase angle, where -1 would equal a full 180 degree phase angle.

Without taking everyone through a 2nd or 3rd year Electrical Engineering course, that is as short a summary as I can muster.

Hi Elarson

Thankyou for your help, that makes the equations much easier!

I have done some maths involving the j operator and Argand diagrams so should be able to determine the phase angles at various frequencies.

Although theres not a lot i can do about phase shift anyway

Thanks

Have you downloaded this nice program yet?

Works very good, easy to handle.

Glad it helps.

edl, yes i have it is a really useful program, shame you cant be lazy and just drag the response curves you want and have it calculate the values

Thanks again
Craig
