22 State the advantages of an ‘m-derived’ filter section over its equiva-
lent prototype.
A filter section is to have a nominal impedance of 500 , a cut-
off frequency of 5 kHz and a frequency of infinite attenuation of
4.5 kHz. Determine the values of components if the section is to be
an ‘m-derived’ filter.

Composite filter sections
23 A composite filter is to have a nominal impedance of 500 ,acut-
off frequency of 1500 Hz and a frequency of infinite attenuation of
1800 Hz. Determine the values of components required if the filter
is to comprise a prototype T section, an ‘m-derived’ T section and
two terminating half-sections (use m D 0.6 for the half-sections).

section and two terminating half-sections in cascade has a nominal
impedance of 1 k, a cut-off frequency of 100 kHz and a frequency
of infinite attenuation of 90 kHz. Determine the values of the
components comprising the composite filter and explain why such a
filter is more suitable than just the prototype. (Use m D 0.6 for the
half-sections.)
