Stokes. The filters are transitional between Bessel and Butterworth ones. When one compares the step-responses of Bessel, Stokes, and Butterworth filters of the same order and the same -3dB bandwidth then the result is following. The Bessel filters have a certain delay and (practically) no overshoot in their step-transient response. The Stokes filters have larger delay than Bessel filters and a small overshoot. Finally, the Butterworth filters have largest delay and largest overshoot. The paper illustrates these properties and describes the data required for synthesis of the Stokes filters.","PeriodicalId":324891,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 55th International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115833080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Piezoelectric transducers are viable alternatives because they draw power from a vast tank-free supply of ambient kinetic energy in vibrations. Unfortunately, small devices alone seldom dampen vibrations enough to fully harness what is available, which is why investing energy to increase the electrical damping force that transducers impose is so important. This paper introduces and evaluates three investment schemes and 0.35-μm CMOS switched-inductor circuits that increase this force to generate more output power.","PeriodicalId":324891,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 55th International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116767069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
