The Biquad filter
The biquad configuration is a useful circuit for producing bandpass and low-passresponses, which require high Q-factor values not achievable with the VSVS andthe IGMF circuits. The Biquad and the state variable filter circuit configurationcan have Q-factor values of 400 or greater. This circuit, whilst not as useful as thestate variable, nevertheless has certain applications. It is easily tuneable usingsingle resistor tuning (normally a stereo or ganged potentiometer). It can beconfigured to produce a Butterworth or a Chebychev response by changing thedamping (1/Q).
Figure 7.47: Biquad filter.
Figure 7.47 shows a typical three-operational amplifier circuit. The transferfunction is obtained by considering the bandpass output first. The low-pass iseasily obtained thereafter. The Biquad active filter consists of a leaky integrator,an integrator and a summing amplifier. Let Zf be the parallel combination of R2
and C1:

The Q-factor and the resonant frequency are not independent in this circuit. Forhigh frequencies, the bandwidth will be the same as that for low frequencies. This,in general, is not a desirable feature. For example, in an audio mixing desk, theequalising section would use a state-variable circuit where the bandwidth changeswith the higher frequencies. The tuning procedure for the biquad BP is as follows:
1) Select values for C1, C2 and R5,2) Adjust the resonant frequency ωp by varying R3 set the gain by R1,3) The Q-factor is set by R2. as opposed to iterative where one has to keep
adjusting the component values to get the desired value, and4) The Q-factor is set by R2.
Equal value component
If we set C1 = C2 = C and R3 = R6 = R, then the equations are greatly simplified
