to 10 Hz. Superimposed on this signal is 60-Hz noise with an amplitude of 0.1 V. It is desired to attenuate the 60-Hz signal to less than 10% of its value using a Butterworth filter. Select a filter order to perform this task if the corner frequency is 10 Hz.

Answer:

[tex] G \sqrt{1 +(\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}} = 1[/tex]

If we square both sides we got:

[tex] G^2 (1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}= 1[/tex]

We divide both sides by [tex] G^2[/tex] and we got:

[tex] (1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n} = \frac{1}{G^2}[/tex]

Now we can apply log on both sides and we got:

[tex] 2n ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c}) = ln (\frac{1}{G^2})[/tex]

And solving for n we got:

[tex]n = \frac{ ln (\frac{1}{G^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c})}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex]n = \frac{ln (\frac{1}{0.1^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{60}{10})}[/tex]

[tex] n = \frac{4.60517}{3.8918}=1.18[/tex]

And since n needs to be an integer the correct answer would be n=2 for the filter order.

Explanation:

For this case we can use the formula for the Butterworth filter gain given by:

[tec] G = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 +(\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}}}[/tex]

Where:

G represent the transfer function and we want that G =0.1 since the desired signal is less than 10% of it's value

[tex] f_c = 10 Hz[/tex] represent the corner frequency

[tex] f= 60 Hz[/tex] represent the original frequency

n represent the filter order and that's the variable that we need to find

[tex] G \sqrt{1 +(\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}} = 1[/tex]

If we square both sides we got:

[tex] G^2 (1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}= 1[/tex]

We divide both sides by [tex] G^2[/tex] and we got:

[tex] (1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n} = \frac{1}{G^2}[/tex]

Now we can apply log on both sides and we got:

[tex] 2n ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c}) = ln (\frac{1}{G^2})[/tex]

And solving for n we got:

[tex]n = \frac{ ln (\frac{1}{G^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c})}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex]n = \frac{ln (\frac{1}{0.1^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{60}{10})}[/tex]

[tex] n = \frac{4.60517}{3.8918}=1.18[/tex]

And since n needs to be an integer the correct answer would be n=2 for the filter order.
