I have read and understood the background material on DSO triggering available in the lab manual
as well as on moodle.

Carry out following tasks and attach screenshots with suitable description.

Task-1 Attach few screenshots with description

Task-2: Perform FFT of Triangle, square and Sine waveforms. Explain main difference in the FFT of
Triangular and square waveforms. Provide screenshots for reference.
Triangle waveform with average 128

FFT for triangular wave (f=1.25khz)

FFT for square wave (f=1.25HZ)

Square waves produce lots of harmonics. A square wave can be thought of as the sum of many
sinewaves at different frequencies. These frequencies get mixed together and produce other
frequencies. Since there are many frequencies produced by a square wave, an FFT or a spectral
analysis will show lots of peaks at different frequencies. That is the nature of square waves.

Triangle is more similar to sine wave. Therefore, there are a smaller number of peaks for triangular
wave. Triangle waves are similar in that they are also a sum of many sinewaves. Since the rise time
of a triangle wave is less than a sine wave of the same frequency, the components of a triangle wave
will be sinewaves of lower frequencies.

Task-3: Carry out Task-3. Take snapshot of the working circuit on breadboard as well as screenshot
of the waveforms produced. Report frequency of the square and triangular waveform generated by
assembled circuit.

Perform all task steps, attach screenshots and provide explanations as described in Lab manual.
Output wave forms (frequency of square wave = 1.196 kHz, frequency of triangle wave = 1.201 kHz)

Breadboard Circuit
Here Red waveform represents the addition of blue and yellow output waveforms

FFT of output waveform.

FFT for square wave outform

Beta = ᵦ = R2/(R2 + R3) = 10/20 = 0.5

T = 2RC ln((beta+1)/(1-beta)) = 2 * 22000 * 0.01 * 10-6 * ln (3) = 4.83 * 10-4 /s

f = 1/T = 2 kHz

Yes, the waveform is stable. The reason is that the external trigger square wave has the same
frequency as that of the triangle waveform. Here the DSO images the output at same frequency as
that of triangle wave.

On increasing or decreasing the frequency the waveform becomes unstable as now output and
trigger have different frequency. This mismatch is responsible for the instability.

Task-4:
Obtain the filter characteristic. Fill measured data in following table and plot filter response on Lin-
Log graph
