Filter Does The Opposite: High Pass Filter Schematic Circuit

An electronic filter is a circuit that filters frequencies from a voltage signal. A high pass filter removes low frequencies and allows high frequencies to pass. A low pass filter does the opposite, removing high frequencies and allowing low frequencies. They are constructed with simple resistor and capacitor components arranged differently. High pass filters are used in speakers and to remove DC offset, while low pass filters filter high frequencies for subwoofers. The transfer functions and cut-off frequencies were analyzed from schematics and graphs of example high pass and low pass filters.

Introduction

An electronic filter is an electronic circuit that takes some signal, which in our case
is a voltage signal
composed of one or many frequencies, and filter out frequencies in a specific range.
A high pass filter
circuit removes low frequency signals and allows high frequency signals. A low pass
filter does the opposite
and removes high frequency signals and allow through low frequency signals.
High pass filters are often used in speakers to filter out bass from an audio signal
being sent to a tweeter,
which could be damaged by the low frequency bass signals. They are also used to
remove DC offset or DC
bias from a signal, which could otherwise harm amplifiers and other electronic
devices. In contrast, low
pass filters can be used to filter out high frequency signals in audio being sent to
subwoofers that cant
efficiently reproduce the high-frequency parts of the audio signal. They are also
used in devices such as in
the tone knob of an electric guitar (to filter out treble), or in analog synthesizers.
The passive filters are easy to construct and require only simple components.
Figures below show
schematics of the low pass and high pass filters. Both filters consist of a capacitor
and a resistor - the
difference is the placement of the parts.

f-3db frequency of RC filter


Theoretical value of frequency calculated from the formula given below is 328Hz.

The cut-off frequency determined from the graph for low pass filter is 316Hz and for
high filter pass 346.
Discrepancies between the theoretical value and measured can be explained by the
noise affecting the measurement and difference in the given values of capacitance
and resistor. The value of capacitance was not the same as labeled.
