THEORY
Resonance is the phenomenon and study of AC circuits, when an inductance coil and
capacitance are connected either in series or parallel across an alternating supply of varying
frequency. Resonance condition can be achieved either by keeping network elements same and
varying frequency or by keeping frequency constant and varying the frequency dependent
circuit element.
Resonance circuit are classified in 2 categories

A) SERIES RESONANCE
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
PROCEDURE
1. Rig up the circuit as shown in figure.
2. Switch on the supply and adjust the signal generator to say 10V peak to peak.
3. Vary frequency gradually from zero and note down the reading of Ac current Io in
ammeter for different values of frequency.
4. Take down the readings for smaller steps of frequency near the maximum current value
to get accurate resonance frequency.
5. From the tabulated readings plot a graph of current versus frequency. This graph is
called as frequency response.
6. From graph note down the resonant frequency (f0) at which current is largest (I0).
7. Note down the frequency f1 & f2 corresponding to a current of (I0/√2).
8. Find Bandwidth and Q factor using the formula given below.
i. f1 = Lower half power frequency (Theoretical Equation f1 = f0-(R/ 4πL)
ii. f2 = upper half power frequency (Theoretical Equation f2 = f0+(R/ 4πL)
iii. Band Width = (f2-f1) (Theoretical Equation BW = R/ 2πL or BW = f0/Q)
iv. Q Factor = f0 / (f2-f1) (Theoretical Equation f1 Q0 = (1/R)*√ (L/C)
DESIGN PROCEDURE
Assume R=100Ω, C=1µF and resonating frequency, f0 =225Hz and calculate L.
Series Resonance: f0 = 1/2π√(LC)

AIM
To design and test the diode clipping (single or double ended) circuits for the peak clipping
and peak detection.
THEORY
Clippers are networks that employ diodes to clip away portions of an input signal
without distorting the remaining part5 of the applied waveform. These clipper circuits
transfer a selected portion of the input waveform to the output diode clipping circuits are
used to prevent a waveform from exceeding some particular limit either negative or positive
or both. This is achieved by connecting the diode in serial or in parallel circuit. Variable DC
voltage is connected in the circuit to achieve required level of clipping. By using different
level DC voltages, it is possible to get different level of clipping in positive and negative side.
These clippers are also called as limiters.
PROCEDURE
1. Place the components on bread board and connect them as per the circuit diagram 1(a).
Use the wires for connection as required.
2. Switch on the signal generator and set voltage to 10V P-P and frequency to 100Hz,
3. Using CRO measure the output wave form and sees that it matches with required wave
form. Vary the DC voltage and tabulate the level of clipping.
4. Connect the input and output wave form to the two channels of the CRO and using XY
mode observe and note down the transfer characteristic.
5. Note down input & output wave form and draw it on graph.
6. Repeat this for other clipping circuits.
AIM
To design and test the clamping circuits for Positive and Negative clamping.
THEORY
Clamper is a circuit that clamps a signal to a different dc level without changing the
appearance of the applied signal. The magnitude of R and C must be chosen such that the
time constant RC is large enough to ensure voltage across capacitor does not discharge
significantly during the interval the diode is non-conducting. By connecting suitable Dc
voltage in series with the diode, the level of swing can be varied.
PROCEDURE
1. The Circuits are wired up as shown in the circuit diagrams for each case.
2. A sinusoidal signal of 1KHz and amplitude of 10VP-P is applied as input Vi from
AFO
3. Observe the output waveform on the CRO and verify it with the given waveforms.
DESIGN PROCEDURE
Given f = 1K Hz => T = 1msec choose RC >> T
Let RC = 10 T = 10m sec
Let R =√ (Rf*Rr) = 100K Ω
RC = 10ms => 100K Ω*C = 10ms
Therefore C = (10ms / 100 K) = 0.1 μF
V0 = Vi – Vm ----------------- (2)
When Vi = 0 in equation (2), V0 = - Vm
When Vi = Vm in equation (2), V0 = 0
When Vi = -Vm in equation (2), V0 = -2 Vm
RESULT
All types of clamper circuits are tested and output wave form matches with the
expected waveform.

RC phase shift Oscillator basically consists of an amplifier and feed back network consisting
of resistors and capacitors in ladder fashion. The basic RC circuit is as shown below
The current I is in phase with Vo, whereas the capacitor voltage Vc lags the current I by φ

To find Rc:
Choose Vce = Vcc / 2 =10/2=5 v
Apply KVL in CE loop:
Vcc- (IcRc) - Vce - Vre=0
10v-(2mA* Rc) – 5v –1v=0

Xcc2 = (Rc||Rl)/10, Xcc2 =1/ (2π*f*Cc2), Cc2=?
NOTE
The last resistor in the phase shifting network is chosen to be a 10K POT. This is done to get
an overall phase shift of 180º at frequency of oscillations. The minimum hfe required for the
transistor to oscillate is hfe min = 23 + 29(R/Rc) + 4(Rc/R)
Where Rc = 1K Ω and R = 2.2K Ω (Phase shifting network)
Therefore hfe (min) = 23 + 29(2.2K/1K) +4 = (1K/2.2K) = 89.The transistor should be
chosen to have a value hfe of greater than 89
