FACULTY OF ENGINEERING LAB SHEET CIRCUITS AND SIGNALS ECT 2036 TRIMESTER 1 (2011/2012) SIG1-Active Low-Pass Filter Design SIG2-Circuit analysis using ORCAD PSpice ECT2036: Circuit and Signals SIG1 Experiment SIG1: Active Low-Pass Filter Design 1.0 Objectives: i) To demonstrate the active low-pass filter design techniques using Sallen Key configuration. ii) To demonstrate a sweep frequency measurement technique. iii) To compare the differences between Butterworth and Chebyshev filters. 2.0 Apparatus: “Low Pass Filter Design” experiment board DC power supply Dual-trace oscilloscope Function generator Connecting wires 3.0 Introduction: An electronics filter is a circuit that is used to pass signals which are within a selected band or frequencies while attenuating all other signals which are beyond this band. Filter networks can be classified as active or passive filters. Passive filter network contains only passive components such as resistors, inductors and capacitors. Active filters, on the other hand, provide amplification to the pass-band signals with the use of transistor or opamps together with a few frequency-selective passive components. There are four basic type of filters, namely low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and band-stop filters. A low pass-pass filter allows low-frequency signals to be passed forward to its output terminals with little or no attenuation. Any signal above cutoff frequency will be attenuated, and the attenuation increases with frequency, which is a measure of how selective the filter is. The basic 1st order low-pass filter section is shown in Figure 1, which is a passive RCfilter network coupled to a voltage follower. Vo Vi Figure 1: 1st order low-pass filter network 2/9 ECT2036: Circuit and Signals SIG1 It can be shown that the transfer function is V 1 o V sCR 1 i The 2nd order Sallen Key low-pass filter configuration shown in Figure 2 is commonly used in many practical electronic systems. It is sometimes known as a voltage-controlled voltage source (VCVS) filter design. RA RB Vo Vi Figure 2: Second-order low-pass filter network It can be shown that the transfer function is V K o 2 2 2 V i s C R sCR(3 K ) 1 where R K 1 B R A 1 cutoff frequency, f c 2CR The roots of the denominator quadratic expression are called the poles of the transfer function. These poles are usually complex numbers. They can be plotted on a graph in the complex number plane. The locations of these poles on the complex plane determine the pass-band frequency response of the filter. Notice that the poles of the Sallen Key lowpass filter can be set by selecting a suitable value of K. Hence, the filter response can be optimized for different applications by varying the gain K of the amplifier. Normally a standard value for C is chosen and the resulting value R is calculated for a given cutoff frequency. The gain-setting resistors RA and RB are chosen to give either a Butterworth (maximally flat) or Chebyshev (equal ripple) response. A Butterworth filter has a flat response in the pass-band. A Chebyshev filter, on the other hand, sacrifices the flatness of 3/9 ECT2036: Circuit and Signals SIG1 the pass-band response to achieve a higher selectivity for the same filter order as the Butterworth filter. Higher pass-band ripple can be traded for higher selectivity. Higher-order filters may be constructed by cascading a combination of 1st and 2nd order filter sections (stages). The block diagrams in Figure 3 illustrate the schemes for higher-order low-pass filters. Odd-order filters are obtained by cascading a 1st order section with one or more 2nd order sections. For example, a 5th order low-pass filter can be built by cascading a 1st order section with two 2nd order sections. For even-ordered filters, only 2nd order filter sections are used. 1st order 2nd order 3rd Order Filter 2nd order 2nd order 4th Order Filter 1st order 2nd order 2nd order 5th Order Filter Figure 3: Block diagram illustrating higher-order low-pass filters The locations of the poles for each filter stage must be properly selected in order to obtain the standard Butterworth or Chebyshev response. A 4th order filter cannot be simply constructed by cascading two similar 2nd order filters. Instead, the cutoff frequency for each filter stage must be slightly higher than the desired overall cutoff frequency fc. Table 1 summarizes the required design parameters for some of the commonly used filters. 4/9 ECT2036: Circuit and Signals SIG1 Table 1: Higher-order low-pass filter parameters. 1st stage 2nd stage 3rd stage RB/RA f` RB/RA f` RB/RA f` Order Butterworth 3 4 5 6 1dB Chebyshev 3 4 5 6 2dB Chebyshev 3 4 5 6 0.152 0.068 1.000 1.235 0.382 0.586 1 1 1 1 1.382 1.482 1 1 6.0 8.2 10.3 12.5 1.504 1.719 1.286 1.545 0.911 0.943 0.714 0.733 1.820 1.875 0.961 0.977 8.0 13.4 16.2 21.8 0.322 1.608 0.913 0.466 1.782 0.946 0.223 1.437 0.624 0.321 1.637 0.727 Note: Normalized cutoff frequency, f` = 1/[2RC fc] 1.862 1.901 0.964 0.976 8.3 14.6 16.9 23.2 0.725 0.686 1 1 1 1 Overall passband gain (dB) 0.452 0.502 0.280 0.347 0.924 0.879 Industrial function generators usually have a voltage controlled frequency (VCF) input. The frequency of the sine wave output can be electronically adjusted by applying an external voltage to this input. If a saw-tooth waveform is connected, as shown in Figure 4, the output sine-wave frequency can be linearly swept from a lowfrequency value to a high-frequency value. This frequency sweep signal can be connected to the filter under test to evaluate the frequency response. The AC-DC converter is essentially a peak-detector circuit which converts the alternating amplitude of the signal into an equivalent DC level. With the saw-tooth waveform also connected to the oscilloscope as the trigger source, the frequency response can be displayed on the CRT screen.

If you’re using the M10-380D-303-A power supply: i) make sure that you use only one part of the power supply i.e. either master or slave, and ii) select the “indep” button 2) Connect all the wires accordingly as per instructed, directly between the supply and the experiment board. 3) Do not increase the power supply’s voltage abruptly, and ensure that the supply’s value is within the stated limit (e.g. 24V for the voltage), as otherwise, you might burn the IC chip. 4) Make sure that the current supply is set at a low level when you are about to connect the power supply to the experiment board. 5) Connect the oscilloscope probe to the “cal” point, and make sure that you can see a square waveform of the appropriate amplitude and period in order to ensure that the oscilloscope is properly calibrated. 4.0 Procedure: 1. Set both CH1 and CH2 of the oscilloscope to DC coupling. 2. Set the function generator for a 15kHz sine wave. Check the waveform using the oscilloscope, and adjust the amplitude so that it will be a 2V peak-to-peak amplitude. 3. Set the DC power supply to 24V, connect the positive terminal to V+, the negative terminal to V-, and the ground terminal to GND on the experiment board. 4. Examine the output at terminal P1 (The output should be a saw-tooth waveform). Check the waveform to confirm that the amplitude is about 12V peak-to-peak and the waveform period is about 50ms (or 100ms). (Adjusting the potentiometer VR1 and VR2 will adjust the amplitude and frequency of this saw-tooth signal respectively.) 5. Connect the saw-tooth waveform to the VCF input of the function generator. The sinewave output of the function generator will sweep from about 5kHz to 25kHz. 6. Connect the same saw-tooth waveform to CH1 of the oscilloscope. 7. Set “Vert mode” of the oscilloscope to “CH2”. 8. Connect terminal P5 to CH2 of the oscilloscope. 9. Now, the filter response can be tested by connecting the function generator output to the input terminal of the filter P7, and the output of the filter to terminal P3. Follow the connections as given in Figure 4. 10. Design the filters as per the following sections: 6/9 ECT2036: Circuit and Signals SIG1 4.1.
