Narrow Bandpass Filters | Schneider-Kreuznach

Defined by 1” (25.4mm) diameter and 32 turns per inch pitch, C-Mount thread is a popular camera mount in machine vision industry. Schneider-Kreuznach offers for most filters a CMT mount option. So that filters can go in any C-Mount based mechanics in vision systems.

Another popular application, CMT mounts can easyly be used for, is placing a filter in front of the sensor into the camera. The extension of the back flange distance has to be considered for imaging applications.

Key features:
• Fits in C-Mount cameras
• Black Anodized Brass

Applications:
• To be mounted in C-Mount cameras
• Vision Systems based on C-Mount mechanics

Schneider-Kreuznach offers a variety of mounts with common thread sizes to fit on most camera lens systems. SH-Mount is the standard, when high flexibility is needed. Filters are held by retainer rings. SH-Mounts are extreme robust.

All SH-Mounts have a female and male M-thread, and can be stacked if several filters must be combined.

Key features:
• Stackable
• ​​​​​Robust
• Black Anodized Brass

Applications:
• Mounted on lenses in imaging applications
• Mounted on measurement instruments

SN1-Mount was designed for in machine vision industry popular M30.5x0.5 thread. With its high clear aperture, vignetting can be avoided, even for wide angle applications. The filter is glued into the mount, in order to secure it against vibrations when integrated into robots or production lines. It is ideal to be used in automated fabrication.

SN1-Mounts have a male and female M-thread, and can be stacked if several filters must be combined.

Key features:
• Maximum Clear Aperture
• No vignetting
• Stackable
• Robust
• Black Anodized Brass

Applications:
• Mounted on lenses in imaging applications
• Mounted on measurement instruments

Bandpass Filter Oscillations below 10 Hz - Amplifiers forum - TI E2E

Hi Vik,

Would you please share your schematic and possibly the FilterPRO design file so we can take a look at what you built?  Be sure to include the actual OPA part number you've used. 

My guess is that the "Q" of the filter you've designed is probably very high to get such a tight passband and high gain in one design, which means that it may not be possible due to component parasitic parameters and tolerances to get this design to work without the risk of oscillations.  We may have to divide your gain and filtering into separate stages to make the design more robust. 

Let's take a look at your circuit and we can work from there.

Regards,
Collin Wells

Hi Vik,

Thanks for the schematic and for confirming that the Q is very high.  I generally use a rule that filters with a Q greater than 10 are usually too sensitive to component tolerance and parasitics to be robust.  Lowering the required filter gain requirements, increasing the passband bandwidth, or increasing the number of stages all help to lower the filter Q requirements.

OPA is primarily a chopper stabilized zero-drift amplifier and is usually used for DC applications.  Your application bandwidth is low so the OPA should work but if you're interested in a product with lower THD+N or other AC specifications you should possibly consider another single-supply amplifier such as the OPA320 or OPA365.

For your new design, seven stages and 14 orders are pretty impressive and I haven't personally constructed anything so advanced before and would be very interested in your results.  The lower Q is much more appropriate and should be much less likely to oscillate.  If you share the new design I will spend a little time and do a SPICE analysis on both circuits and let you know what I find. 

May I also ask what your final application is that requires such a heavy analog filter?  Would it be possible to move some of the filtering to the digital domain where it is easier to achieve higher order filters practically?

Regards,
Collin Wells

Hello Collin,

Thank you for your input. I am going to try the new design with OPA first since I have them laying around here. I am using TINA TI to simulate the design. I am going to try to do that on the new design here shortly and I will post the schematic.

My application is a 22Hz receiver. My major problem is the fact that I need atleast a 100dB gain and I am quite close to energy potent 50/60Hz and low frequency electro-magnetic fields and discharges. The environment the application would be used is typically in remote industrial locations. Hence, power efficiency and battery operation is critical as well. I am still considering a FIR filter and prefer my solution to be digital. However, I felt like it's just as much of a hassle to add a 16 bit ADC, processor and filter cores and low noise boost regulators and reference. If you've any recommendations, I would like to try it out.

Thanks again,

Vik
