Standard Filter Designs with Normalised Capacitor and Inductor Values

Standard or "normalised" values are available for filter designs based on the filter type (Chebyshev, Butterworth, Low-Pass, High-Pass etc) and the number of poles (which is usually the number of capacitors \ inductors in the circuit).

These normalised values are given for a cut-off frequency of 1 radian (links to http://www.mw0llo.com/mathematics/circular-measure.aspx) per second (which works out to be approximately 0.159 Hz) and a filter characteristic impedance of 1 Ω.

In order to build a practical filter, it is necessary to transform these normalised values into real values that can be used in the circuit. The equations below show how this is done.
