Abstract

This paper describes the design and simulation of a fourth-order Butterworth active bandpass filter designed for single-sided magnetic particle imaging (MPI) scanner. Bandpass filters (BPF) are used in MPI scanner set-up to attenuate the harmonic distortions generated by the power amplifier before passing the purely sinusoidal signal to the excitation (Drive) coils. The BPF is designed based on the excitation frequency of 22.8 kHz, having Butterworth response, and realized using Sallen-Key topology by cascading one second-order highpass filter and one second-order lowpass filter, with values of the passive components calculated using the coefficient matching method. MATLAB and NI Multisim software are used to simulate the filter, and the results are compared. The magnitude response obtained using MATLAB have monotonic amplitude response in the pass and stopband, and maximally flat with small ripples in the passband than the NI Multisim implementation, while NI Multisimimplementation has better roll-off than MATLAB implementation.
