This type of filter is called an allpass or phase shift filter. Filters are widely used to give circuits such as amplifiers, oscillators and power supply circuits the required frequency characteristic. Most often, this means removing some frequencies or frequency bands. That is, using components and interconnections that, in analysis, can be considered to exist at a single point.
They are butterworth, chebyshev, bessel and elliptic filters. A bode plot is a graph plotting waveform amplitude or phase on one axis and frequency on the other. This filter is also called as maximally flat or flat flat filter. In these filter circuits we can alter one parameter without damaging the other.

Because almost every analog circuit contains some filters. In most cases, the primary concern is the magnitude response, which will be addressed in this manual. Although filters can be made from inductors, resistors and capacitors most filter circuits are based upon opamps, resistors and capacitors. As a common part of all the electronic power supplies circuits, rectifier circuit provides dc power supply from available ac supply for proper function of electronic equipments. Filter filter digital data pulses ac dc power filter circuits are also necessary on the transmission end of the cable, to prevent the ac signals from being shunted by the dc power supplys capacitors, and to prevent the dc voltage from damaging the sensitive circuitry generating the ac voltage pulses. After the completion of this workshop, students will understand. Two filter circuitsthat perform the same function using different components are shown in fig.
