Problem Solving: Op Amp Applications

Joe, a technical applications engineer at XYZ Manufacturing, Inc. has been asked to develop an active filter for the removal of unwanted signals in a data acquisition system. Such a filter, known as an anti-aliasing filter will be an analog filter and one of the elements of the data acquisition system signal chain. Since Joe has been asked to design this filter using a 741 operational amplifier, you are asked to help him by developing a two-page double-spaced description of the use of operational amplifiers in designing different types of active filters. In your two-page description of operational amplifier application in filter design, make sure you provide the following information:

1. The operational characteristics of the 741 op-amp
2. How can the 741 op-amp can be used to design low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters? Show the filter design configurations and the appropriate calculations.
