Modeling an RC polyphase filter

Here is a simple way of modeling a passive polyphase filter that can generate 4-phase signals from 2-phase sinusoidal inputs.

Tip of the Month

Designing a common-class filter

Check out this Python script that designs a Butterworth, Bessel, Chevyshev, or elliptic filter according to your specifications and computes the model parameters for the 'filter' primitive.

Primitive of the Month
