Module 8 Lab: Basic Active Filters INTRODUCTION. – In this laboratory experience you will analyze three times of basic active filters: Low-pass, High-pass, and Band-pass filters. Further, you will become proficient with using a new instrument that automatically generates the magnitude and phase of the transfer function for a given circuit. PROCEDURE 1.- Low Pass Filter 1.1 Build the low-pass filter circuit shown in Figure 8-1 Figure 8- 1: Low-pass filter 1.2 Calculate the expected cut off frequency for this filter. Note that this is just a simple RC circuit and therefore you can use the most basic equation. ELEC 161 – Module 8 Laboratory - Page 1
Calculate f = 1.3 Connect Channel A of the Oscilloscope to the input signal and Channel B to Vout. Ensure that both channels of the Oscilloscope are coupled in DC. 1.4 Select an amplitude for the input signal that will not distort or clip the output signal 1.5 You will now measure the gain of the circuit (Av = Vout / Vin) for signals at different frequencies. Complete the table below for each frequency: Frequenc y 100 Hz 500 Hz 1 k Hz 5 kHz 10 kHz 15 kHz 20 kHz 50 kHz 100 kHz Gain (Av) 1.6 Plot the gain vs. frequency in Excel or similar software. Include the graph in your report. 1.7 Based on the plot from 1.6, estimate the cut off frequency of the filter. Remember that the cut off frequency is that frequency at which the gain is 0.707 times the gain of the filter in the bandpass. Measured (estimated) frequency = 1.8 Compare the calculated and measured cut off frequencies. Comment on your results. By now you will have noticed that this can be a long and tedious process especially if you want to increase the number of measuring points for better accuracy. For this reason, we have an instrument, called Bode Plotter that automates this process. This is located on the instruments palette in Multisim as shown in Figure 8-2.

Figure 8- 2: Bode Plotter Instrument in Multisim You can also find it from the Main Menu: Simulate à Instruments à Bode Plotter 1.9. Connect the IN input of the Bode Plotter to the input signal and the OUT input to the Output of the circuit as shown in Figure 8-3. Don’t forget to connect both grounds.
