Abstract – There are many situations in communication, control and instrumentation systems where inverse filters may be required to correct the distortion of the signal, caused by the signal processors or the transmission systems.

The inverse filters, therefore, should have the frequency response which is reciprocal of the frequency response of the system that caused the distortion. In the area of digital signal processing there are several techniques for performing inverse digital filtering however, by contrast, the methods and circuits for realizing continuous-time analogue inverse filters have been investigated mainly during the last two decades (2000 onward), although a few articles were available even before 2000. Thus, analogue inverse filters have been realized using the conventional building blocks like Op-amps and OTAs as well as a number of modern current-mode active building blocks such as CCs, DDCCs, CFOAs, CDBAs, CDTAs, OTRAs, FTFNs, FTFNTAs and VDTAs etc.

In this invited talk, a brief historical account of the research in this area will be given, significant progress made in this area will be highlighted and some unresolved problems related to the realization of inverse active analogue filters will be pointed out.
