Lab 4 PDF

The document summarizes lab #04 on the frequency response of an RC circuit. It discusses: 1) What frequency response means - how a system's output varies with the input frequency. 2) The four basic frequency responses: low pass, high pass, band pass, and band stop. 3) An observation table showing the gain of an RC circuit decreases with increasing frequency, indicating it has a low pass response. The capacitive reactance decreases and resistive voltage drop increases with higher frequencies.

Q1) What do you mean by frequency Response of a system?

• Frequency Response:
Systems respond differently to inputs of different frequencies. Some systems may
amplify components of certain frequencies, and attenuate components of other frequencies.
The way that the system output is related to the system input for different frequencies is
called the frequency response of the system.

Or we can say that the frequency response of a system is the variation in its behavior in signal
frequency.

Q2) Discuss four of the basic frequency responses?

There are four basic types of frequency response

• Low Pass:
When the system allows frequencies lower than the cut-off frequency to pass and
blocks higher frequencies than the system is said to have a “low pass” frequency response.

• High Pass:
When the system blocks frequencies lower than the cut-off frequency and allows
higher frequencies to pass than the system is said to have a “high pass” frequency response.

• Band Pass:
When the system allows a certain range or band of frequencies to pass while
blocking all other frequencies than the system is said to have a “band pass” frequency response.

• Band Stop:
When the system blocks a certain range or band of frequencies while allowing all
other frequencies to pass than the system is said to have a “band stop” frequency response.

• Frequency response of an RC circuit:


The reactance of a capacitor varies inversely with frequency, while the value
of the resistor remains constant as the frequency changes. At low frequencies the capacitive
reactance, ( Xc ) of the capacitor will be very large compared to the resistive value of the
resistor, R.

This means that the voltage potential, Vc across the capacitor will be much larger than the
voltage drop Vr developed across the resistor. At high frequencies the reverse is true with Vc
being small and Vr being large due to the change in the capacitive reactance value.
