Hi,
I'm trying to design a active 6 pole Bessel filter with a 3.5MHz cutoff frequency to use as a premod filter. I've come up with a design on paper using the sallen-key topography, but I don't think it will work in practice, as it uses 10pF capacitors, and im pretty sure the capacitance of the circuit board will be on the order of 10pF.
Has anyone here dealt with this issue before? Is there a way of scaling up the values on a filter to get more reasonable capacitance values?
Thanks,
