A general procedure is outlined for optimizing the damping of an input filter using a single resistor. This procedure is employed to derive the equations governing optimal damping of several basic filter circuits. Design tradeoffs are discussed. Additional criteria are derived that allow employment of these results in design of multiple-section cascaded filters with damping.
