Lab 6 Electric Network Analysis

The document summarizes an experiment to study the response of a passive RC band pass filter. The band pass filter is created by cascading a high pass filter and low pass filter using RC circuits. Measurements of input and output voltage were taken at various frequencies to obtain the gain vs. frequency response curve. Based on the curve, the lower cutoff frequency was measured to be 130 Hz and higher cutoff frequency was 2 kHz, giving a bandwidth of 1.87 kHz. The experimental values matched well with the theoretical calculations, with an error of approximately 11.22%.

To Study the response of Passive RC based Band Pass Filter

OBJECTIVE:
To study the response of RC Passive Band Pass Filter
THEORY:
Band pass filter is a combination of both low pass filter and high pass filter. The name of the filter
itself indicates that it allows only a certain band of frequencies and blocks all the remaining
frequencies. In audio applications, sometimes it is necessary to pass only a certain range of
frequencies, this frequency range do not start at 0Hz or end at very high frequency but these
frequencies are within a certain range, either wide or narrow. These bands of frequencies are
commonly termed as Bandwidth.
Band pass filter is obtained by cascading passive high pass and passive low pass
filters. This arrangement will provide a selective filter which passes only certain frequencies. This
new RC filter circuit can able to pass either a narrow range of frequencies or wide range of
frequencies. The upper and lower cut-off frequencies depend on filter design. This band pass filter is
simply appears like a frequency selective filter.

So by cascading RC High Pass Filter with RC Low Pass Filter we can have RC Passive Band Pass
Filter.
The cut off frequencies are given as:
Lower Cut-Off Frequency = 1/2πR1C1 Higher Cut-Off Frequency = 1/ 2πR2C2 Band Width =
(Higher Cut-Off Frequency) - (Lower Cut-Off Frequency)

PROCEDURE:
- Set-up the RC circuit in figure with the signal generator as the power source (Input).
- Apply a sinusoidal input from the signal generator; measure the amplitude of the source
with the help of the CRO/ DMM (AC Voltmeter) and note it down in Table below.
- Now connect CRO/ DMM (AC Voltmeter) across the capacitor C2.
- Starting from zero adjust the frequency from the signal generator so that the output is
equal to 0.707 of the amplitude of the source.
- Note it down as the Lower Cut-off frequency in Table below.
- Compare the experimental value to the theoretical value calculated earlier for verification
(Error Analysis)
- Increase the frequency so that the condition of 0.707 of the amplitude of the source is
again met.
- Note it down as the Higher Cutoff frequency in Table and compare this experimental
value to the theoretical value calculated earlier for verification (Error Analysis) - Obtain
Gain vs. Frequency Curve.
