oa Nature-inspired algorithms for optimal active band pass filter design

The basic purpose in active filters design is to calculate the filter transfer function in order to find the adequate discrete components values (resistors and capacitors) forming those filters to provide the best performance. The selection of the component values must be from industrial series so as to reduce costs and make the design more feasible. The next step would be to investigate the optimal set of component values from the numerous possible combinations which is considered an exhausting and time consuming process. Hence, this research aims at diverting the attention towards the application of the metaheuristics, which combines high efficiency with minimal computational time.
