✦ Synopsis

Analytic equations are developed for the sensitivity functions of a class of active distributed RC networks including the sensitivity of the center frequency, the real and imaginary parts of the dominant pole, and the dominant pole Q to changes in network parameters as a function of the transformed P plane pole locations. An analytic design procedure is given for controlling the sensitivity of the dominant pole Q to changes in amplifier gain by causing the Q to be dependent upon a resistance ratio and increasing the gain. Equations are given for determining the sensitivity of Q to changes in the resistance ratio and practical limitations are also discussed. Several possible configurations for controlling the sensitivity of Q are given as well as design examples.
