Frequency Response of Low Pass Filter: Week #3 SEPTEMBER 29, 2018 Laboratory No. 2

This document summarizes Laboratory #2 from Group 9's BSECE 2B class at the Technological University of the Philippines – Taguig Campus. The laboratory objective was to construct and analyze a low-pass RC filter in Matlab. Code and a graph were generated showing the amplitude and phase response of the filter circuit. The conclusion explained that a low-pass filter passes low frequencies and attenuates high frequencies, with the exact cutoff determined by the filter design. An RC low-pass filter was created using a resistor in series and capacitor in parallel to pass low frequencies through the capacitor while blocking DC signals.

Conclusion:

A low-pass filter (LPF) is a filter that passes signals with a frequency lower than a
selected cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies higher than the cutoff
frequency. The exact frequency response of the filter depends on the filter design. The
filter is sometimes called a high-cut filter, or treble-cut filter in audio applications. A low-
pass filter is the complement of a high-pass filter. To create a low pass RC filter, the
resistor is placed in series to the input signal and the capacitor is placed in parallel to
the input signal, as a capacitor is a reactive device, it offers differing resistance to
signals of different frequencies entering through it. A capacitor is a reactive device
which offers very high resistance to low-frequency or DC signals. And it offers low
resistance to high-frequency signals. As it offers very high resistance to DC signals, in
this circuit, it will block DC from entering and pass them off to an alternative part in the
circuit. High-frequency signals will go through the capacitor, since the capacitor offers
them a very low-resistance path. Remember that current always takes the path of least
resistance. Being that a capacitor represents a low resistance in a circuit for high-
frequency signals, they will take the path through the capacitor, while low-frequency
signals will take an alternative, lower-resistance path.
