gC-Studio – the environment for automated filter design

The paper presents the idea of software suite integrating the tools supporting the analog filter design. It uses the prototype circuits that are composed of gyrators and capacitors. The essential, behavioral parameters are characterised for the filtering structures. The basic assumptions formulated before the implementation are also mentioned. The structure of the software suite is discussed, its functional properties and the implementation issues are mentioned. The resulting software brings the automation of designing SISO filters as well as the filter pairs. In the proposed solution the VHDL-AMS language is assumed as the formal method of hardware description.
