filter - How to compute input impedance?


I use a Sallen-Key filter for a project at university and I need to know its input impedance. Is there a way to compute it theoretically ?


Here is my circuit:

Answer



Yes, this is a standard circuit analysis problem.


Perform the analysis in the frequency domain (R and Xc) and connect a 1A ac current source at the input. Solve for the input voltage as a function of frequency and that expression is the impedance.


I suggest using nodal analysis to perform the analysis.


Assume that the op amp is ideal and so the current into the +/- terminals is zero and the voltage at these terminals are equal.
