Third step filter linearity:
The Filter beomes from Shruthi a VKOCT 1olta.e. It is 1er- im2ortant that the Filter mo1es itNs

The linearit- is stable from C< D; 2 to 3<<< D;3 o1er 3<<< D; it an be that the linearit- is minus

Im2ortant is3 that the linearit- is in ra.e from C< to 3<<< D;.

This is 1er- im2ortant for the Filter FM3 beause FM interat /ith the resonan-.

Stepp !"T!#$A% &'%()!:
One beha1ior of a La00er filter is3 it 0oesnNt /or7 on hi.h Am2litu0es.
Another effet is3 more in2ut 1olume3 less resonan- 1olume.
Less in2ut 1olume3 more resonan- 1olume 3 but a ba0 SIM%AL to %OIS" ratio :
So -ou ha0 to a06ust the P'T !*ternal +nput in this /a- that the noise is less an0 $esonan- is
not to lou0.
III %ote for the internal Volume !ot3. I ha1e test it /ith 0ifferent internal Volumes.
Less internal Volumes .i1es more resonan- out2ut3 but more noise in the si.nal.
So3 2lease set !ot3 to Ma8imum. This .i1es the best results.
