LAB 3: RC FILTER AND SERIES RLC CIRCUIT

1. Goals
• Design, implement, and investigate the properties of RC filters.
• Design, simulate, and investigate the properties of a series RLC circuit.

2. Exercises
Exercise 1. Investigate a lowpass filter and a highpass filter with R, C components as shown

in Figure 1. The cut-off frequency of both filters are determined by: 𝑓0 = .

Requirements:
a) Follow the steps below to investigate a lowpass RC filter:
• Use the components given in the table to assemble the lowpass RC filter (Fig.
1(a)) on a breadboard.
• Measure the real values of the resistor and capacitor used in the filter. Compare
the measured values with the label value of each component.
• Use a function generator to produce 𝑉𝑖𝑛 (input voltage) for the circuit.
• Use an oscilloscope to display 𝑉𝑖𝑛 and 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 (output voltage).
• Set 𝑉𝑖𝑛 = 5V (peak value) and its frequency = 1 kHz. Measure and record the
amplitude of 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡.
• Keep the amplitude of 𝑉𝑖𝑛 fixed. Vary the frequency of 𝑉𝑖𝑛 over a wide range
(e.g., 1Hz, 10 Hz, 100 Hz, 10 kHz, 100 kHz). Measure and record the amplitude
𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡. Comment on the obtained results. Notice: You may use the button on the
function generator to make sure that 𝑉𝑖𝑛 = 5V.
• Based on the obtained value of 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 corresponding to each frequency of 𝑉𝑖𝑛,
plot the frequency response of the lowpass RC filter, with the vertical axis (y-
axis) being the gain and the horizontal axis (x-axis) being the frequency
(measured in dB).

frequency value with the cut-off frequency calculated by 𝑓0 = . Draw a

• For a lowpass RC filter, the phase difference (or phase shift) between 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 and
𝑉𝑖𝑛 is calculated by 𝜑 = − arctan(2𝜋𝑓𝑅𝐶 ). At the cut-off frequency (such that
𝐴𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 1
= = 0.707), use the oscilloscope to display the phase
𝐴𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑉𝑖𝑛 √2
∆𝑡
difference 𝜑 (𝜑 = − × 360𝑜 ). Comment on the obtained results.

b) Investigate a highpass RC filter as shown in Fig. 1(b) by repeating the same above steps
(which have been done for investigating a lowpass RC filter).
Exercise 2. Use Multisim Live or other open-source circuit simulators to investigate the
properties of a series RLC circuit. (Note: Students can assemble the circuit on a breadboard
and then investigate it.)

with the theoretical calculation. Draw a conclusion.
c) Vary the frequency of the V (1 Hz~10 kHz) to find the resonant frequency (𝑓𝑀𝐴𝑋 )
of the series RLC circuit (Note: VR is maximum at 𝑓𝑀𝐴𝑋 ). Compare the simulation

results with the theoretical calculation (𝑓𝑀𝐴𝑋 = ). Draw a conclusion.
