Hello! I am desiging in PSpice a 2-pole active filter. the values are taken from a wikipedia example to be sure about the fcut.

this is the circuit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sa...ss_Example.svg

and the fcut=16KHz. but when i am doing it in pspice the fcut is at 10khz.

i tried with other values and again problem. i read about FREQUENCY SCALING FACTOR accoring to Butterworth filter but i don't understand
why for example wiki has wrong fcut. what is this value?

at pages 9 to 10 texas instruments has some tables with FSF depending of what filter design you like.BUT ONLY ABOUT LOW PASS FILTERS....

When I ran it I get the following using an ideal OpAmp..

-3dB=10KHz
-6dB=16KHz
-20dB=48KHz
