Implementation Details
Following is an example and implementation details of how the electrical band-pass Chebyshev filter works, please see the example file: BP_Chebyshev_Filter.icp
The key features for this element are the filter's order and bandwidth. Following figures show how the bandwidth and order affect the filter's performances.
