Assignment ECT1016

This document provides instructions for an assignment in the ECT1016 Circuit Theory course. Students must complete two questions, working in groups of two. Question 1 involves calculating the input impedance and power delivered to a radio receiver connected to an antenna, as well as the apparent power and current of an AC voltage source supplying different loads. Question 2 involves deriving an expression for the voltage ratio of an LC low-pass filter, suggesting component values to achieve a given magnitude response plot, and plotting the magnitude response. Students must submit individually by the deadline.

Question 2

Figure below shows the schematic of a passive LC low-pass filter (LPF). The LPF is a
two-port network, consisting of the input and output ports, the port voltages are as
indicated in Figure 1. The behavior of the network depends on the frequency of the
voltage source driving the input, and is typically expressed as a ratio VL/VS. Since the
source is a sinusoidal voltage source, the currents and voltages within this network can be
expressed as Phasors. Thus in general the ratio VL/VS is a complex number which varies
with frequency. A plot of the magnitude and phase of VL/VS is generally known as the
Frequency Response of the network. For a LPF, the magnitude of |VL/VS| approaches
unity when the frequency is approaching DC, and rapidly drops to zero above a certain
frequency limits (the cut-off frequency).

Figure Q2(a): An LC low-pass filter with load (RL) and source (RS) resistors.

(a) Using phasor notation and assuming Rs = RL = R, C1=C2=C, derive the expression for
VL/VIN in terms of the elements of the LPF (e.g. L1, L2 and C1) and ( = 2 f). What is
the value for VL/VS when f = 0? Briefly explain why.
Hint: Use Nodal Analysis or other valid circuit analysis methods.
[20 marks]
(b) Given R = 100, suggest suitable values of L1, L2 and C1 such that |VL/VS| with
properties as shown in Figure 2 is obtained. Using Excel or other equivalent software,
with suitable Y and X axis scale, plot the magnitude response |VL/VS| versus frequency
from DC to 3 MHz.
[20 marks]
Hint: The most direct way is to use the ‘brute-force’ method. Assume a suitable set of
values for L1, C1 and C2 (take C1=C2). Then plot |VL/VS| from the expression you obtain
in part (a). Repeat until you get something close to Figure 2.
