Inverse Filter Circuit

filterlow passtransfer function

I have calculated the inverse transfer function of a low pass filter, and was wanting to design a circuit so that the original filters effect will be cancelled by its inverse. What would be the most effecient way to achieve this?

Filtering inverse to a first-order lowpass is very simple:

Lowpass: H1(s)=1/(1+sRC)

Inverse: H2=1+sRC

The inverse filter can be realized with an opamp and R-C-feedback (R between output and inv. input, C between inv. input and ground). The non-inv. opamp input terminal is used for signal input.

In case o f a second-order lowpass a third quadratic term (s²T²) must be added (second-order differentiator).
