Summary: Good filter book
Review: Because many filters readers not understand this book, I recommend, for a good understand, to work with synthesis software like one at www.filterscad.com

Summary: Good filter book
Review: Great book on filter design with exphasis on fundamentals. If you feel that you are in a hurry to get a working filter and do not care for the theory, then this book is not for you. However, sooner or later, you may need an understanding of that theory part, then it is the time to read it. There is a solution manual of 660+ pages available from the publisher, with all problems explained and simulated.

Summary: Good Book
Review: I design filters of frequencies up to 10MHz and I can find every information I need about filters in this book. From the basics to practical considerations such as effects of the op-amp's finite gain on the filters. It also covers Gm-C and switched capacitor filters. Although it says there is matlab but there isn't, but hey! why worry? It's explaination is just as good as Razavi's Design of Analog Integated Circuits. And neither did Razavi have any SPICE, etc. This book is much better written than Continuous-Time Active Filters Design by Deliyannis and the examples are all 'design examples'. Eg: Design a filter with a frequency of...., etc . This book is possibly the only filters book you'll ever need.

Summary: There is no Matlab exercises
Review: I've received this book this week and I expected much more. There is no Matlab exercises and the Apendices are missing. Could you send me another copy?

Summary: one of the best books on the subject
Review: Not only a great book on analog filtering but also on analog electronics. It explores the op amp bandwidth limitations and how to take this into account to make accurate predictions on real filters. The fundamental theory of filter design is discussed at an introductory level, excellent starting point for more advanced readings. I stongly recommend this book for a first undergraduate course in the subject.

Summary: Confusing
Review: This book was the text for the analog filters class at my university. There are numerous errors in the book, and the presentation of the material is confusing. I hope that an errant sheet could accompany the book. Also, the back cover states that Matlab is employed to minimize algebraic and other computational needs. Where is it employed???? Not in this edition!!!!!

Summary: Strong in Fundamentals
Review: This is a good book. It has everything you need on filter design with all the clear explanation and design examples. Strange thing is he uses dB/octave instead of dB/decade. I also feel that the people who wrote the previous comments should concentrate on the fundamentals to do design rather than relying on a computer to do the job. Who needs Matlab? ;-)

Summary: Good Filter Book on Fundamentals
Review: This is a great book on filter design with exphasis on fundamentals. It is self-contained and complete on theory, but you won't be bogged down with fancy mathematics. I found that most of the problems can be simulated with EWB or other Spice tools. Matlab and MathCad are very useful in finding poles, manipulate polynomials, and sifting through standard R C values to get the right parametric combinations, even though you have to compose the programs yourself. They are usually very short, anyway. Its solution manual of 662 pages is available from the publisher, with all problems explained and simulated. All in all, this book is probably all you need whenever you need to learn or work on filters, whether opamp or Gm-C or even L-C.
