High Pass

This document describes designing and testing a first order high pass RC filter. The circuit uses a resistor and capacitor. Testing involves measuring the output voltage at different input frequencies to determine the cutoff frequency, where gain drops to 70.7% of the peak value. Both experimental and theoretical cutoff frequencies are calculated and compared in the conclusion.

Fig -1: 1st order high pass filter

Theory:

A filter is a frequency selective device. Filters may be of several types. These include low pass,
high pass, band pass and band elimination filters. The high pass filters allow frequencies above the cut
off frequency to flow through it. It blocks or eliminates all frequency components below the cut-off
frequency. The cut-off frequency provides a limit to define the pass band and stop band for the filter.
Ideally, there should be a sharp demarcation between a pass band and stop band. But practically, the
demarcation is more gradual allowing the pass band to spill over to the stop band. To make the
demarcation sharp, multi order filters are designed.

A passive filter does not have any ability to amplify or actively process the signals flowing
through them. It means that they don’t use transistors, OPAMPs or any other active components. These
arte fabricated using only passive components like resistors, capacitors and inductors.

The cut-off frequency will be given by:


1
f c=
2 πRC

At cut-off frequency, the gain Av (V0/Vin) increases to 70.7% of its peak value.

Procedure:

1. Connect the circuit as shown in fig.1


2. With the help of the function generator the input of 1V, 1000 Hz is given.
3. Now change the value of the input frequencies and note down the corresponding output
voltage with the help of a digital multimeter.
4. Calculate the gain Av (V0/Vin) in each step.
5. Plot the frequency response curve of the filter taking frequency in the X- axis and gain in the Y-
axis.
