Product Description
Product Description
This Don Lancaster classic is by far the best-selling active filter book of all time. It gives you everything you need to know to build active lowpass, bandpass, and highpass filters. An active filter needs no inductors. Instead, op amps, resistors, and capacitors are used for better results. Advantages include lower cost, easy tuning, simple design, and modularity. Lancaster's Active Filter Cookbook includes practical elements such as working circuits, ready-to-use design tables, tuning, and real-world applications, making it easy to use and apply. You'll find both instant design and the mathematics behind coverage. Microcomputer pioneer Don Lancaster is the author of 34 books, 2 videos and countless articles and columns in technical magazines. He also heads Synergetics, an Arizona-based design and consulting firm.

Format:Paperback
One of very few textbooks available that clearly describes active electronic filters and how to design and apply them. The reader does not require unusual mathematical abilities to use this book although the subject is treated with due rigour. Filter design techniques are extended to describe electronically tuned and adaptive filters as well as the design of oscillators and waveform shapers for generating electronic music and sound effects. As close as a technical book can get to bed time reading.
Format:Paperback
This book covers most classic types of active filter and gives you the tools to design the response that you want. It also has a good description of how to impedance scale the filter to adjust the frequency.
Highly recomended.

Lancaster's Active Filter Cookbook, Second Edition
31 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
Owners of Lancaster's original Active Filter Cookbook: read on. I just bought Lancaster's Active Filter Cookbook, Second Edition. For years I have owned a copy of the original (1975) edition (mine is the 17th (1992) SAMS reprinting). Based on a cursory inspection, I can find no difference between the 1992 reprinting of the original edition and the so-called second edition. The Preface, the Table of Contents, the page numbering, the contents of numerous pages I examined, the List of References, the Index, are all identical, as far as I can tell. There is no new preface to the second edition. There is no description, either inside or on the outside cover, of what has been changed in the second edition. Based on my examination, I would recommend that, if you already own a copy of the first edition, there is no reason to buy the second.

A hands-on, real-world active filter cookbook...
30 July 2001
Format:Paperback
I bought the second edition cookbook in the early '90s. I have used Mr. Lancasters' book to design many audio active filters. I am ordering another copy of the "Active Filter Cookbook" because I gave away my other copy to an engineer in Asia (while on a business trip) who desparately needed it. The math is kept to a minimum, but very accurate if good quality parts (Op-Amps, resistors, caps etc) are used. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific topic, which makes reading very easy. Mr. Lancaster arms the reader with the tools neccessary to understand, build and/or modify existing designs. I would only recommend this book to readers who have built previous projects, as Mr. Lancaster does not go into any construction details/techniques.

An excellent pracitcal book
15 May 1998
Format:Paperback
I have used this book to design many active filters for audio applications. The book is non-mathematical in nature, many design tables are given, but most importantly the book connects theory and real world applications. Many other books are way too theoretical in nature to be of any use. If you want to build filter circuits, then this book is a must. If you want lots of elegant mathematics, look elsewhere. An excellent book.
