BAND PASS FILTER

AIM: To design and study the frequency response of Band pass filter . APPARATUS REQUIRED:Dual power supply,Resistors- 1K, 10K, 22K pot or DRB, Capacitor-0.1F, Signal generator, CRO or Multi meter, wires and bread board. Circuit diagram:

Active band pass filter THEORY:Principal characteristic of any filter is its ability to pass frequencies relatively unattenuated over a specified band or spread of frequencies called the "Pass band". For a low pass filter this pass band starts from 0Hz and continues up to the specified cut-off frequency. Equally, for a high pass filter the pass band starts from this cut-off frequency and continues up to infinity or the maximum open loop gain for an active filter.However, the Active Band Pass Filter is slightly different in that it will only pass frequencies or signals within a certain "Band" or range of frequencies that are set between two cut-off or corner points labeled "lower cut off frequency" (L) and "higher cut off frequency" (H) while attenuating any signals outside of these two points.

BAND PASS FILTER


A simple Active Band Pass Filter can be easily made by cascading together a single Low Pass Filter with a single High Pass Filter. The cut-off or corner frequency of the low pass filter (LPF) is higher than the cut-off frequency of the high pass filter (HPF) and the difference between the cut off frequencies will determine the "Bandwidth" of the filter. The high or upper cut of frequency (H) and the lower cut-off frequency (L) are calculated as same as before in the standard low and high pass filter circuits. The amplifier defines the overall voltage gain of the circuit. The Bandwidth of the circuit is the difference between the upper and lower cut off frequencies. For example, if the cutoff frequencies are at 200Hz and 1KHz then the bandwidth of the filter would be given as: Bandwidth (BW) = 1KHz 200Hz = 800Hz.

Procedure:
1. Design the band pass filter for the given cut off frequencies (Assume the values of C & C' and calculate the values of R & R' using appropriate formulas). 2. Make the connections as shown in the circuit diagram. 3. Keep the input voltage Vin= 5V by varying the amplitude knob of signal generator. 4. Connect CRO or Multi meter across load resistor RL. 5.Vary the input frequency in steps and note down the output voltage (Vo) for each frequency. 6.Calculate the gain for each reading. 7.Plot the graph of gain vs. frequency. CALCULATIONS:Gain of A1= 1+(Rf/R1) = _________ Gain of A2= 1+(R'f/R1') = _________ Gain of BPF = (Gain of A1) X (Gain of A2) = _________

BAND PASS FILTER


Given: Lower cut off frequency, fL= 200Hz Upper cut off frequency, fH= 1KHz We know that, lower cut off frequency, fL= 1/2R'C' Upper cut off frequency, fH= 1/2RC 33 By assuming the value of capacitors, C= C= 0.1F Therefore, R= _________K,R= _________K
