[sdiy] HP from LP ?

[Tom Wiltshire]

I’m getting the feeling here that just a simple subtraction of the lowpass response from the input isn’t enough (ahem). If you want better than -6dB/oct, you need to do some more sophisticated summing of the input and the various outputs, and you’d better make sure you’ve got accurate resistor values and signal levels too, since that provides a limit to how m such attenuation you can expect in the stop band off you high pass filter. How good is your signal cancellation? -40db? -60dB? Unlikely to be better than that.

That’s not to say that it’s not worth it.. As Paula said, the Xpander service manual is the original source, and Oliver Gillet’s documents on the Four Pole Mission board for the Shruthi expand on that:

Basically, generating a multi-pole highpass from a multipole lowpass response isn't as simple as just taking one off the other. These are both great filters and worth doing.

HTH,
Tom
