EE 205 Circuit Theory Lab 6 Passive Filter Analysis by Laplace Transform

This lab aims to analyze passive filters through their transfer function and simulate the results using Proteus. It involves implementing and testing low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filter circuits. For each filter, the student is asked to calculate component values to achieve a given cut-off frequency, implement the circuit in Proteus, simulate it with a test signal, and record results in tables to compare calculated and measured cut-off frequencies, roll-offs, and other parameters. The student is also asked to consider potential reasons for discrepancies between calculated and measured values, and whether connecting a LPF and HPF in series could replicate the behavior of a BPF.

Passive Filter Analysis by Laplace Transform

The aim of this lab is to use analyze passive filters through their transfer function. Simulate the results using
Proteus.

Low Pass Filter (LPF):


Consider the example circuit given in Fig.1. We have already studied this circuit in the lecture. Here, we want to
verify the calculated results with the Proteus simulations.

Fig.1. LPF circuit and its transfer function.

Suppose that the cut-off frequency 𝑓𝑐 = 10 𝑘𝐻𝑧 is desired. Then, let 𝑅 = 1𝑘 gives 𝐶 ≈ 16 𝑛𝐹.
Procedure:
1. Implement the following LPF circuit in Proteus.

2. Connect ports “IN” and “OUT”.
3. Connect a sin input as a voltage source with 1V amplitude and 100Hz frequency.
4. From the graphs, select frequency graph and place it on the page.
5. Double click the graph and set the “reference” value as “IN”.
6. Then run the graph.
7. Fill the table below.
Table 1.
fc (calculated) fc (measured) in dB Roll-off (dB/dec) Phase at fc in degrees.
High Pass Filter (HPF):
Consider the example circuit given in Fig.3. We have already studied this circuit in the lecture. Here, we want to
verify the calculated results with the Proteus simulations.

Suppose that the cut-off frequency 𝑓𝑐 = 10 𝑘𝐻𝑧 is desired. Then, let 𝑅 = 1𝑘 gives 𝐶 ≈ 16 𝑛𝐹.
Procedure:
1. Implement the following HPF circuit in Proteus.

2. Fill the table below.
Table 2.
fc (calculated) fc (measured) in dB Roll-off (dB/dec) Phase at fc in degrees.
Band Pass Filter (BPF):
Consider the example circuit given in Fig.5. We have already studied this circuit in the lecture. Here, we want to
verify the calculated results with the Proteus simulations.

Fig.5. BPF circuit and its transfer function.

Suppose that the cut-off frequencies 𝑓𝑐1 = 100 𝑘𝐻𝑧 and 𝑓𝑐2 = 300 𝑘𝐻𝑧 are desired. Then, the center frequency
is 𝑓0 = 200𝑘𝐻𝑧 or 𝜔0 = 400𝜋 × 103 rad/sec.

Let 𝐿 = 100𝑢𝐻, then from


1 1
𝜔0 = 400𝜋 × 103 = =
√𝐿𝐶 √(0.01)𝐶
gives 𝐶 ≈ 6.33𝑛𝐹.
Since the bandwidth 𝐵 = (300𝑘𝐻𝑧 − 100𝑘𝐻𝑧) = 200𝑘𝐻𝑧, from
1 1
𝐵 = 2𝜋 × 200𝑘𝐻𝑧 = =
𝑅𝐶 𝑅(6.33 × 10−9 )

𝜔0 2𝜋×200×103
Gives 𝑅 = 126 Ω. The 𝑄 = 𝐵
= 2𝜋×200×103 = 1. Then we expect a “low Q” BPF.

Procedure:
3. Implement the following HPF circuit in Proteus.

4. Fill the table below.

Conclusion:

1. If calculated and measured values are different, what do you think causes this?
2. If you connect a LPF in series with a HPF each having corresponding w c1 and wc2 as in BPF, does this circuit work
correctly?
