The provided content appears to be a combination of data from electronic circuit measurements, simulation notes, and experimental procedures related to filter circuits using operational amplifiers (op amps). The core assignment task involves presenting and analyzing the measured data, discussing the experimental observations, and comparing them with theoretical predictions within the context of designing and testing various filters (lowpass, highpass, bandpass) using operational amplifiers. The instructions specify documenting results, illustrating data with graphs or tables, and providing an analysis of the experimental findings, sources of error, and theoretical implications.

Introduction

--------------

Electronic filters are fundamental components in analog signal processing, enabling the selective passage or attenuation of specific frequency bands. Utilizing operational amplifiers (op amps), engineers have developed various filters such as lowpass, highpass, and bandpass filters to shape and control signal spectra effectively. This paper discusses the experimental measurement and analysis of such filters, focusing on their frequency responses, the accuracy of theoretical models, and practical considerations that influence their performance.

Methodology and Data Collection

------------------------------

The experimental setup involved constructing multiple filter circuits on the NI ELVIS II platform, utilizing components such as resistors and capacitors with nominal values. The resistors R1 (10 kΩ), Rf (100 kΩ), and capacitors C1 and Cf (both nominally 1 pF and 0.01 pF respectively) were measured using a digital multimeter to confirm their actual values before circuit assembly. The circuits were powered with dual supplies of ±15 V VCC and VDD. Signal inputs of 1 Vrms at 60 Hz were used, and voltage and current responses at various points in the circuits were recorded via oscilloscopes and probes.

Results

-------

The measured component values varied slightly from their nominal specifications, reflecting manufacturing tolerances. For example, resistors R1 and Rf were close to their nominal values, while capacitors showed small deviations. The voltage responses measured at different points in the circuits exhibited expected frequency-dependent behaviors characteristic of their filter types. In the lowpass configuration, high-frequency attenuation was observed, aligning with the theoretical cutoff frequency calculated by \(f_{c} = 1/(2\pi R C)\). Conversely, the highpass configuration demonstrated attenuation at low frequencies, with the cutoff point matching theoretical predictions.

The bandpass filter exhibited a frequency response where signals within a specific range passed through with minimal attenuation, while those outside this range were attenuated significantly. The measured cutoff frequencies for each filter closely matched calculations obtained from \(f_{L} = 1/(2\pi R_{1} C_{1})\) for lowpass and \(f_{U} = 1/(2\pi R_{f} C_{f})\) for highpass and bandpass configurations. Graphs illustrating Bode plots for each filter type displayed the characteristic –3 dB points at the predicted frequencies.

Analysis and Discussion

------------------------

The experimental results confirmed the validity of the theoretical models for RC-based filters. Minor discrepancies between measured and theoretical cutoff frequencies could be attributed to component tolerances, parasitic inductances and capacitances, and measurement uncertainties. The idealized assumptions of zero temperature drift, perfect component values, and ideal operational amplifiers were not fully met in practice, leading to slight variations.

Sources of error included inaccuracies in resistor and capacitor values, calibration errors of measurement instruments, and environmental factors such as noise and temperature fluctuations. For instance, the small deviations in capacitor values significantly impacted the cutoff frequencies, emphasizing the importance of high-precision components in filter design. Additionally, the op amps’ finite gain and bandwidth limited the sharpness of the filter roll-off, which was evident when comparing the actual Bode plots with ideal theoretical curves.

Furthermore, the phase responses around the cutoff frequencies corroborated the theoretical phase shifts associated with single-pole filters, approximately 45° at cutoff points. The experimental data supported the theoretical understanding that the filter's bandwidth correlates with the component values and circuit topology, aligning with classical filter theory.

Conclusions

-----------

The experimental investigation of lowpass, highpass, and bandpass filters using op amps verified the fundamental principles of RC filter design. The close agreement between measured and calculated cutoff frequencies underscored the robustness of the theoretical models, although practical limitations introduced slight deviations. Understanding these variations is crucial for designing reliable filters in real-world applications where component tolerances and environmental factors are inevitable. Future experiments could incorporate higher-precision components and explore active filter designs with higher-order configurations to achieve sharper roll-off characteristics and better control over frequency responses.
