2. With values R = 260 Ω, L = 3.166 mH, and C = 500 nF, make a MATLAB script showing the frequency
response of the series resonant of Figure 1. In your script, include calculation of the following parameters:
the resonant frequency ωo, fo, ωc1 (lower cutoff frequency, actually derived from a HPF), ωc2 (higher cutoff
frequency, from a LPF), bandwidth (BW), and quality factor (Q). Also, calculate the transfer function at
cutoff frequencies.
ωo = ______________ ωc1 (fc1) = ______________ ωc2 (fc2) = __________________
BW = ______________ Q = ________________ |H(jωc)| = ______________
3. Run the script file.
4. Copy the frequency response of circuit of Figure 1 on your semilog paper.
Note: You may run with an ORCAD capture to see if your program display a correct or similar response.
5. The circuit of Figure 1 is a band-reject filter. Name the other two circuits referring to a band-reject filter or
showing the same frequency response:
(a) _______________________
(b) _______________________
6. Name 2 applications where a band-reject filter is being employed.
(a) _____________________________________________________________________________
(b) _____________________________________________________________________________
7. Connect a load of RL = 10 ohms on your BRF as shown in Figure 2. The purpose of this section is to
investigate how a resistive load connected across the output terminals of the BRF affects its behavior.
8. Make a MATLAB script and append it to your previous program and re-run it and observe the response.
Make a comparison between your unloaded and loaded filter responses. Sketch the response on your
semilog paper.
9. Perform Table 1.

10. A higher Q indicates that a circuit has ______________
a. better sensitivity b. better selectivity c. linear response d. high
gain
11. State in your own word the effect of loading in a BRF.
