Crystal filterA crystal filter allows some frequencies to 'pass' through an electrical circuit while attenuating undesired frequencies. An electronic filter can use quartz crystals as resonator components of a filter circuit. Quartz crystals are piezoelectric, so their mechanical characteristics can affect electronic circuits (see mechanical filter). In particular, quartz crystals can exhibit mechanical resonances with a very high Q factor (from 10,000 to 100,000 and greater – far higher than conventional resonators built from inductors and capacitors).
Filtre mécaniqueA mechanical filter is a signal processing filter usually used in place of an electronic filter at radio frequencies. Its purpose is the same as that of a normal electronic filter: to pass a range of signal frequencies, but to block others. The filter acts on mechanical vibrations which are the analogue of the electrical signal. At the input and output of the filter, transducers convert the electrical signal into, and then back from, these mechanical vibrations.
Filtre coupe-bandeUn filtre coupe-bande aussi appelé filtre réjecteur de bande ou filtre cloche est un filtre empêchant le passage d'une partie des fréquences. Il est composé d'un filtre passe-haut et d'un filtre passe-bas dont les fréquences de coupure sont souvent proches mais différentes, la fréquence de coupure du filtre passe-bas est systématiquement inférieure à la fréquence de coupure du filtre passe-haut.
All-pass filterAn all-pass filter is a signal processing filter that passes all frequencies equally in gain, but changes the phase relationship among various frequencies. Most types of filter reduce the amplitude (i.e. the magnitude) of the signal applied to it for some values of frequency, whereas the all-pass filter allows all frequencies through without changes in level. A common application in electronic music production is in the design of an effects unit known as a "phaser", where a number of all-pass filters are connected in sequence and the output mixed with the raw signal.
Network synthesisNetwork synthesis is a design technique for linear electrical circuits. Synthesis starts from a prescribed impedance function of frequency or frequency response and then determines the possible networks that will produce the required response. The technique is to be compared to network analysis in which the response (or other behaviour) of a given circuit is calculated. Prior to network synthesis, only network analysis was available, but this requires that one already knows what form of circuit is to be analysed.
Filtre à réponse impulsionnelle infinieUn filtre à réponse impulsionnelle infinie ou filtre RII (en anglais infinite impulse response filter ou IIR filter) est un type de filtre électronique caractérisé par une réponse fondée sur les valeurs du signal d'entrée ainsi que les valeurs antérieures de cette même réponse. Il est nommé ainsi parce que dans la majorité des cas, la réponse impulsionnelle de ce type de filtre est de durée théoriquement infinie. Il est aussi désigné par l'appellation de filtre récursif. Ce filtre est l'un des deux types de filtre numérique linéaire.
Linear integrated circuitA linear integrated circuit or analog chip is a set of miniature electronic analog circuits formed on a single piece of semiconductor material. The voltage and current at specified points in the circuits of analog chips vary continuously over time. In contrast, digital chips only assign meaning to voltages or currents at discrete levels. In addition to transistors, analog chips often include a larger number of passive elements (capacitors, resistors, and inductors) than digital chips.
Linear circuitA linear circuit is an electronic circuit which obeys the superposition principle. This means that the output of the circuit F(x) when a linear combination of signals ax1(t) + bx2(t) is applied to it is equal to the linear combination of the outputs due to the signals x1(t) and x2(t) applied separately: It is called a linear circuit because the output voltage and current of such a circuit are linear functions of its input voltage and current. This kind of linearity is not the same as that of straight-line graphs.
Sinc filterIn signal processing, a sinc filter is an idealized filter that removes all frequency components above a given cutoff frequency, without affecting lower frequencies, and has linear phase response. The filter's impulse response is a sinc function in the time domain \left(\tfrac{\sin(\pi t)}{\pi t}\right), and its frequency response is a rectangular function. It is an "ideal" low-pass filter in the frequency sense, perfectly passing low frequencies, perfectly cutting high frequencies; and thus may be considered to be a brick-wall filter.
Gain (électronique)En électronique, le 'gain' est la capacité d'un dispositif à augmenter la puissance d'un signal. Le gain exprime généralement en décibels le coefficient de transmission d'un dispositif. On parle aussi de gain d'antenne, pour exprimer la capacité à transmettre plus qu'une antenne de référence dans une direction donnée. Selon une définition générale, le gain est La définition sommaire du gain comme mesure de l'amplification, de l'avantage procuré par un circuit comporte plusieurs conditions implicites.
Fréquence de coupureLa fréquence de coupure d'un circuit électronique est la fréquence limite de fonctionnement utile d'un circuit électronique. La pulsation de coupure est la pulsation correspondante. Les fréquences de coupure basse et haute définissent la bande passante. Conventionnellement, cette limite est souvent fixée à la fréquence pour laquelle la puissance de sortie est réduite de moitié, pour un signal d'entrée de même amplitude, par rapport à la puissance de sortie à la fréquence de référence.
PassbandA passband is the range of frequencies or wavelengths that can pass through a filter. For example, a radio receiver contains a bandpass filter to select the frequency of the desired radio signal out of all the radio waves picked up by its antenna. The passband of a receiver is the range of frequencies it can receive when it is tuned into the desired frequency (channel). A bandpass-filtered signal (that is, a signal with energy only in a passband), is known as a bandpass signal, in contrast to a baseband signal.
