The document is a lab report that describes the design and testing of a first order active low pass filter circuit. It includes sections on the theory behind active filters, the procedure used to design and test the circuit, results including a circuit diagram and frequency response data, and conclusions. The key findings are that the circuit was designed using an op-amp in an inverting configuration, with resistor and capacitor values chosen to give a cutoff frequency of around 70.2 Hz, and that the measured frequency response matched the expected theoretical response.

Title: To design a first order active low pass filter.

Theory:
Active filters are electronic circuits that utilize active components, such as operational
amplifiers, to achieve specific frequency response characteristics. The design of such a filter
involves selecting appropriate resistor and capacitor values to determine the cutoff frequency and
the filter's slope.

Procedure:
 The circuit was designed using an operational amplifier (op-amp) in an inverting
configuration.
 The resistor (𝑅1 ) and capacitor (𝐶1 ) values were chosen based on the desired cutoff
frequency (𝑓𝑐 ) using the formula: R1 = 1 / (2π fc C1 ).
 The resistor (𝑅2 ) was chosen to set the gain of the op-amp, providing a desired output
voltage level.
 Power supply connections were made, ensuring proper polarity and voltage levels.
 A signal generator was used to input a sinusoidal waveform with a frequency range
covering the expected cutoff frequency.
 The output voltage was measured across the load resistor using a digital oscilloscope.
 The frequency response was plotted by varying the input frequency and measuring
the output voltage amplitude.

Analysis:

pg. 2
The designed first-order active low-pass filter effectively attenuated high-frequency
signals while allowing low-frequency signals to pass through. The measured frequency response
closely matched the expected theoretical response, with the cutoff frequency occurring at
approximately 70.2 Hz.

Conclusion:
The objective of designing and analyzing a first-order active low-pass filter using a
digital oscilloscope and a signal generator on an experimental board was successfully achieved.
The designed circuit effectively attenuated high-frequency signals while allowing low-frequency
signals to pass through.
