Lab Exercise Design of Active Filters

This document describes an experiment on designing active filters. It discusses the theory of filters, objectives of the experiment, equipment required, and procedures for investigating low-pass, high-pass, basic, and Butterworth filters. Circuits for a -20db/decade low-pass filter, -40db/decade low-pass Butterworth filter, and 40db/decade high-pass Butterworth filter are provided, along with procedures to calculate gain values across a range of frequencies and design filters with given cut-off frequencies.

Experiment No# 3: Design of Active Filters


Theory: A filter is a frequency sensitive circuit. It passes some frequencies but blocks or attenuates others. Active filters are composed of operational amplifiers along with passive components such as resistors, capacitors etc. To achieve a steeper roll-off, Butterworth filter is used. Objective: The objective of this experiment is to investigate the characteristics of different types of filter namely Low pass filters, High pass filters. Basic filters and Butterworth filters will be investigated. Equipments required: 1. Power supply 2. Signal generator 3. Resistors 4. Capacitors 5. Oscilloscope 6. Operational Amplifiers ( 741 or 301)
