ABSTRACT

This paper gives an algebraic frame work for designing analog filters that are jointly optimized for magnitude, phase, and step responses, and lter quality. We formulate the design problem as a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) problem and use symbolic mathematical software to translate the SQP formulation into working MATLAB programs to optimize analog filters.
