Complex Engineering Activity

Subject: Network Analysis


Semester: Spring 2025
Total Marks: 100
Instructors:
Engr. Ambreen Javed, Engr. Izza Jamal

Objective: The objective of this project is to design and analyze different types of analog
filters—low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-reject—using RC and RL circuits. The project
focuses on simulating these filters using Proteus software, processing audio signals, and
visualizing their effects on the input waveform. By studying the frequency response and phase
shift of these filters, students can better understand their real-world applications in audio
processing and communication systems.

Complex Engineering Problem Outcomes:


Through the course of this engineering activity, students should be able to partially attain
some or all the following graduate attributes:
1. GA4: Investigation
2. GA11: Project Management

In this theory/Lab course, this activity maps onto CLO2 and CLO3
Propose and develop semester project meeting the time
CLO2 constraint by efficient planning and time management. PLO-11 P3
Apply mathematical techniques to analyze circuit response and
CLO3 obtain frequency response of linear circuits. PLO-4 C3

Task Goals:
 Design and simulate low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-reject filters using Proteus.
 Implement an audio input signal for testing filter behavior.
 Visualize the effect of each filter on the audio signal using an oscilloscope.
 Analyze the phase shift and frequency response of each filter.
 Explore practical applications of these filters in signal processing.

Problem Statement:
In real-world electronics and communication systems, filtering plays a key role in controlling
which frequencies are passed or blocked in a signal. In this project, you will study and design
four important filters: low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-reject. You will simulate these
filters in Proteus software and also build them using hardware. An audio signal will be used as
the input, and you will analyze how different frequencies are handled by each filter.

You will observe changes in the signal using an oscilloscope, analyze the frequency response,
and understand the behavior of each filter. This project helps you link theory to real-world
applications using both simulation and hands-on circuit design.

Your Tasks Will Include:


1) Simulation in Proteus:
a. Design RC/RL circuits for each filter in Proteus.
b. Use an audio signal (e.g. .wav file or signal generator) as input.
c. Observe waveform changes using a virtual oscilloscope.
d. Study how each filter passes or blocks different frequencies.
2) Hardware Implementation:
a. Build the same filters using physical components (resistors, capacitors, inductors,
audio source).
b. Use a function generator and oscilloscope to test real-time signals.
c. Compare simulation results with hardware output to understand practical
behavior.
3) Frequency Response Analysis:
a. Change the frequency of the input signal.
b. Observe how the output amplitude changes across frequencies.
c. Identify the cutoff frequency and the range of signals each filter affects.
4) Be Neat and Accurate:
a. In both simulation and hardware, ensure neat connections and proper labeling.
b. Clearly organize your filters and output measurement tools (oscilloscope,
speakers, etc.).
5) Record and Report:
a. Capture waveform screenshots and/or photos of hardware setup.
b. Write down observations: input vs output, filter behavior, phase shift, and
frequency analysis.

By the end of this project, you will be able to:


 Understand how different filters work.
 Apply them in audio and signal applications.
 Compare theoretical, simulated, and practical results for better learning.
Deliverables:
As a minimum, the following requirements are to be submitted by the deadline:
1) Task Implementation [50]
 Each of the modules given in the design specification should be implemented in
and tested using Proteus.
2) Written Report [30]
 The next section gives a detailed description of report requirements.
3) Presentation [20]
 Each group will give a brief presentation on the project, covering key aspects.

Report Instructions
Your written report should be concise and professionally written. It is expected that you
will follow the provided format closely. Departures from the format may result in
deduction of points from your grade.
The task report must contain the following sections:
1. Task Description: This section should describe your design. It should provide
the reader with information he would need to understand how the circuits work
and how you designed them.
2. Theory of operation: Explain how your circuit works, but do not give
implementation details. This should be an expanded version of the introduction.
That is, give a high-level description of what your circuits do and how they do it.
For example, you could explain any conditions or restrictions the user must
observe to use the circuits, and the high-level structure of your circuits at the block
diagram level.
3. Breakdown of Tasks
4. Block Diagram of the design
5. Design Details: In this section you can go into the details of your design. It should
refer to detailed documentation (such as schematic diagrams) explicitly. This
section should also contain a description of any unusual problems you had and
how you solved them and any aspect of your design that is novel.
6. Design schematics for all modules: All schematic diagrams should be included in
the report according to the following rules:
a. Make sure all input and output connectors are labeled with the proper
signal name. Add labels for any interior signals that appear in the written
description of the circuit, especially those that appear in logical
expressions.
b. The exact placement of parts and wires on the diagrams is not critical.
However, you should ensure that the circuit inputs are on the left side of
the page and circuit outputs on the right side so that information flow is
from left to right across the page.
7. Simulation screenshots showing testing details of the design.

Important Note:
Make sure you write your own report and do not copy material directly off the internet.
Plagiarism content should not be more than 20%.

Best of luck!
