Use standard component values within a factor of two. a) (6 pts) Provide component values (R1, R2, C1, C2) and show normalized component selection for Butterworth (Q=0.707). b) (6 pts) Derive the transfer function H(s) and show the -3 dB cutoff condition. c) (8 pts) Sketch (or describe numerically) magnitude Bode plot points at 10 Hz, 100 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz, and 100 kHz (provide gains in dB).
