Question: A second-order analog low-pass filter has a transfer function where Q is called the quality factor of the filter. (a) Show that the maximum of

where Q is called the quality factor of the filter.
(a) Show that the maximum of the magnitude
¢ for Q < 1/2occurs at Ω = 0.
¢ for Q ¥ 1/2occurs at a frequency different from zero.
(b) Show that for Q = 1/2 = 0.707, the half-power frequency of this filter is Ωhp = 1 rad/sec.
