I design filters of frequencies up to 10MHz and I can find every information I need about filters in this book. From the basics to practical considerations such as effects of the op-amp's finite gain on the filters. It also covers Gm-C and switched capacitor filters. Although it says there is matlab but there isn't, but hey! why worry? It's explaination is just as good as Razavi's Design of Analog Integated Circuits. And neither did Razavi have any SPICE, etc. This book is much better written than Continuous-Time Active Filters Design by Deliyannis and the examples are all 'design examples'. Eg: Design a filter with a frequency of...., etc .

This book is possibly the only filters book you'll ever need.

Not only a great book on analog filtering but also on analog electronics. It explores the op amp bandwidth limitations and how to take this into account to make accurate predictions on real filters. The fundamental theory of filter design is discussed at an introductory level, excellent starting point for more advanced readings. I stongly recommend this book for a first undergraduate course in the subject.

This is a great book, very well organized with great in-depth analysis and practical tips. For design engineers, analogue or digital, it's a must have book.
Also, I recommend "Introduction of Modern Network Synthesis" by M. E. Van Valkenburg as a companion book.

Excellent book if you like electronics and are familiar with freqeucny analysis from say a controls perspective. Having dual concentrations in controls and electronics. I found this book to be very useful. Breakdown of problems aren't really present but you'll just have to design things in stages and combine them. You'll see when you get the book. Highly informative for designing analog filters (including multi order active filters) that could be comparable to some low-mid end dsp filters.

This is a good book. It has everything you need on filter design with all the clear explanation and design examples. Strange thing is he uses dB/octave instead of dB/decade. I also feel that the people who wrote the previous comments should concentrate on the fundamentals to do design rather than relying on a computer to do the job. Who needs Matlab? ;-)

The book has lost a lot, since the previous version by Van Valkenburg (this edition was rewritten after his death). Although there is additional material, the book is no longer enjoyable reading. Important entries are entirely missing from the index. The paper used has a fluorescent glow! This causes eyestrain when reading the book.

This book was the text for the analog filters class at my university. There are numerous errors in the book, and the presentation of the material is confusing. I hope that an errant sheet could accompany the book. Also, the back cover states that Matlab is employed to minimize algebraic and other computational needs. Where is it employed???? Not in this edition!!!!!

I've received this book this week and I expected much more. There is no Matlab exercises and the Apendices are missing. Could you send me another copy?
