Voltage
Energy is required for the movement of charge from one point to another. Let W
Joules of energy be required to move positive charge Q columbs from a point a to
point b in a circuit. We say that a voltage exists between the two points. The voltage
V between two points may be defined in terms of energy that would be required if a
charge were transferred from one point to the other. Thus, there can be a voltage
between two points even if no charge is actually moving from one to the other.
Voltage between a and b is given by
W
V= J/C

Current :
An electric current is the movement of electric charges along a definite path. In case
of a conductor the moving charges are electrons.
The unit of current is the ampere. The ampere is defined as that current which when
flowing in two infinitely long parallel conductors of negligible cross section, situated 1
meter apart in Vacuum, produces between the conductors a force of 2 x 10 -7 Newton per
metre length.
Power : Power is defined as the work done per unit time. If a field F newton acts for t
seconds through a distance d metres along a straight line, work done W = Fxd N.m. or J.

P = V x I watt.
Energy : Electric energy W is defined as the Power Consumed in a given time. Hence, if
current IA flows in an element over a time period t second, when a voltage V volts is applied
across it, the energy consumed is given by
W = P x t = V x I x t J or watt. second.
The unit of energy W is Joule (J) or watt. second. However, in practice, the unit of
energy is kilowatt. hour (Kwh)
Resistance : According to Ohm's law potential difference (V) across the ends of a conductor
is proportional to the current (I) flowing through the conductor at a constant
temperature. Mathematically Ohm's law is expressed as
V I or V = R x I

A branch is said to be active when it contains one or more energy sources. A passive
branch does not contain an energy source.
A bilateral element conducts equally well in either direction. Resistors and inductors
are examples of bilateral elements. When the current voltage relations are different
for the two directions of current flow, the element is said to be unilateral. Diode is an
unilateral element.
Linear Elements : When the current and voltage relationship in an element can be
simulated by a linear equation either algebraic, differential or integral type, the
element is said to be linear element.
Non Linear Elements : When the current and voltage relationship in an element can
not be simulated by a linear equation, the element is said to be non linear elements.
The algebraic sum of Voltages (or voltage drops) in any closed path or loop is Zero.

Thus above Law can also be stated as the sum of currents flowing towards any
junction in an electric circuit is equal to the sum of the currents flowing away from
that junction.

CHAPTER 2
Magnetic Circuits :
Introduction : Magnetic flux lines always form closed loops. The closed path
followed by the flux lines is called a magnetic circuit. Thus, a magnetic circuit
provides a path for magnetic flux, just as an electric circuit provides a path for the
flow of electric current. In general, the term magnetic circuit applies to any closed
path in space, but in the analysis of electro-mechanical and electronic system this
term is specifically used for circuits containing a major portion of ferromagnetic
materials. The study of magnetic circuit concepts is essential in the design, analysis
and application of electromagnetic devices like transformers, rotating machines,
electromagnetic relays etc.
Flux is produced round any current – carrying coil. In order to produce the required
flux density, the coil should have the correct number of turns. The product of the
current and the number of turns is defined as the coil magneto motive force (m.m.f).
So M.M.F = I X N
Magnetic Field Intensity is defined as the magneto-motive force per unit length of the
magnetic flux path. Its symbol is H.
Magnetic field Intensity (H) = Magnetomotive force
Mean length of the magnetic path
H = F I .N . A/m
l l
Where l is the mean length of the magnetic circuit in meters. Magnetic field intensity is also
called magnetic field strength or magnetizing force.
Permeability :-
Every substance possesses a certain power of conducting magnetic lines
of force. For example, iron is better conductor for magnetic lines of force than
air (vaccum) . Permeability of a material () is its conducting power for
magnetic lines of force. It is the ratio of the flux density. (B) Produced in a
material to the magnetic filed strength (H) i.e. = B H
Reluctance :
Reluctance (s) is akin to resistance (which limits the electric Current).
Flux in a magnetic circuit is limited by reluctance. Thus reluctance(s) is a
measure of the opposition offered by a magnetic circuit to the setting up of the
flux.
Reluctance is the ratio of magneto motive force to the flux. Thus

Its unit is ampere turns per webber (or AT/wb)

B.H. Curve :
Place a piece of an unmagnetised iron bar AB within the field of a
solenoid to magnetise it. The field H produced by the solenoid, is called
magnetising field, whose value can be altered (increased or decreased) by
changing (increasing or decreasing) the current through the solenoid. If we
increase slowly the value of magnetic field (H) from zero to maximum value,
the value of flux density (B) varies along 1 to 2 as shown in the figure and the
magnetic materials (i.e iron bar) finally attains the maximum value of flux
density (Bm) at point 2 and thus becomes magnetically saturated.
Fig. 2.1
Now if value of H is decreased slowly (by decreasing the current in the
solenoid) the corresponding value of flux density (B) does not decreases along
2-1 but decreases some what less rapidly along 2 to 3. Consequently during the
reversal of magnetization, the value of B is not zero, but is '13' at H= 0. In other
wards, during the period of removal of magnetization force (H), the iron bar is
not completely demagnetized.

3. Node: it is an equipotential point at which two or more circuit elements are joined.
4. Junction: it is that point of a network where three or more circuit elements are joined.

MESH ANALYSIS
Mesh and nodal analysis are two basic important techniques used in finding solutions
for a network. The suitability of either mesh or nodal analysis to a particular problem depends
mainly on the number of voltage sources or current sources .If a network has a large number
of voltage sources, it is useful to use mesh analysis; as this analysis requires that all the
sources in a circuit be voltage sources. Therefore, if there are any current sources in a circuit
they are to be converted into equivalent voltage sources,if, on the other hand, the network has
more current sources,nodal analysis is more useful.
Mesh analysis is applicable only for planar networks. For non-planar circuits mesh
analysis is not applicable .A circuit is said to be planar, if it can be drawn on a plane surface
without crossovers. A non-planar circuit cannot be drawn on a plane surface without a
crossover.
Figure 3.2 (a) is a planar circuit. Figure 3.2 (b) is a non-planar circuit and fig. 3.2 (c) is a
planar circuit which looks like a non-planar circuit. It has already been discussed that a loop
is a closed path. A mesh is defined as a loop which does not contain any other loops within it.
To apply mesh analysis, our first step is to check whether the circuit is planar or not and the
second is to select mesh currents. Finally, writing Kirchhoff‘s voltage law equations in terms
of unknowns and solving them leads to the final solution.
Figure 3.2
Observation of the Fig.3.2 indicates that there are two loops abefa,and bcdeb in the
network .Let us assume loop currents I1 and I2with directions as indicated in the figure.
Considering the loop abefa alone, we observe that current I1 is passing through R1, and (I1-I2)
is passing through R2. By applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law, we can write

Similarly, if we consider the second mesh bcdeb, the current I 2 is passing through R3
and R4, and (I2 – I1) is passing through R2. By applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law around the
second mesh, we have
By solving the above equations, we can find the currents I 1 and I2,.If we observe
Fig.3.3, the circuit consists of five branches and four nodes, including the reference [Link]
number of mesh currents is equal to the number of mesh equations.

Here he positive sign indicates the loop current I1 is in the same direction as the

SUPERMESH ANALYSIS
Suppose any of the branches in the network has a current source, then it is slightly difficult to
apply mesh analysis straight forward because first we should assume an unknown voltage
across the current source, writing mesh equation as before, and then relate the source current
to the assigned mesh currents. This is generally a difficult approach. On way to overcome this
difficulty is by applying the supermesh technique. Here we have to choose the kind of
supermesh. A supermesh is constituted by two adjacent loops that have a common current
source. As an example, consider the network shown in the figure 3.9.
R2
+ V I1 I2 R3 I3 R4
1 I 2 3
Figure 3.9
Here the current source I is in the common boundary for the two meshes 1 and 2. This current
source creates a supermesh, which is nothing but a combination of meshes 1 and 2.
R1I1 + R3(I2-I3)=V
R3(I3-I2)+ R4I3=0
Finally the current I from current source is equal to the difference between two mesh currents
i.e.
I1-I2=I
we have thus formed three mesh equations which we can solve for the three unknown
currents in the network.

NODALANALYSIS
In the chapter I we discussed simple circuits containing only two nodes, including the
reference node. In general, in a N node circuit, one of the nodes is chosen as the reference or datum
node, then it is possible to write N -1nodal equations by assuming N-1 node voltages. For
example,a10 node circuit requires nine unknown voltages and nine equations. Each node in a circuit
can be assigned a number or a letter. The node voltage is the voltage of a given node with respect to
one particular node, called the reference node, which we assume at zero potential. In the circuit shown
in fig. 3.12, node 3 is assumed as the Reference node. The voltage at node 1 is the voltage at that
node with respect to node 3. Similarly, the voltage at node 2 is the voltage at that node with respect to
node 3. Applying Kirchhoff’s current law at node 1, the current entering is the current leaving (See

without going through the detailed steps. Consider a three node resistive network, including the reference node, as shown in fig 3.16

By comparing Eqs 3.41,3.42 and Eqs 3.43, 3.44 we have the self conductance at node
a, Gaa=(1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3) is the sum of the conductances connected to node a. Similarly,
Gbb= (1/R3 + 1/R4 +1/R5) is the sum of the conductances connected to node b. Gab=(-1/R3) is
the sum of the mutual conductances connected to node a and node b. Here all the mutual
conductances have negative signs. Similarly, Gba= (-1/R3) is also a mutual conductance
connected between nodes b and a. I1 and I2 are the sum of the source currents at node a and
node b, respectively. The current which drives into the node has positive sign, while the
current that drives away from the node has negative sign.

connected to node b.
Gab =-(1/3) mho, the mutual conductances between nodes a and b is the sum of the
conductances connected between node a and b.
Similarly Gba = -(1/3), the sum of the mutual conductances between nodes b and a.
1.83Va-0.33Vb=10 (3.47)
Suppose any of the branches in the network has a voltage source, then it is slightly difficult to
apply nodal analysis. One way to overcome this difficulty is to apply the supernode
technique. In this method, the two adjacent nodes that are connected by a voltage source are
reduced to a single node and then the equations are formed by applying Kirchhoff’s current
law as usual. This is explained with the help of fig. 3.19

It is clear from the fig.3.19, that node 4 is the reference node. Applying Kirchhoff’s current
law at node 1, we get
I=(V1/R1 ) + (V1-V2)/R2
Accordingly, we can write the combined equation for nodes 2 and 3 as under.
(V2-V1)/R2 + V2/R3 + (V3-Vy)/R4 +V3/R5= 0
V2-V3 =Vx
From the above three equations, we can find the three unknown voltages.

Any source, be it a current source or a voltage source, drives current through its load

Figure 3.22
From fig 3.22 (a) the load voltage can be calculated by using Kirchhoff’s voltage law as
Vab=Vs-ILRv
IL=Is-I=Is-(Vab/R1)
The above two sources are said to be equal, if they produce equal amounts of current
and voltage when they are connected to identical load resistances. Therefore, by equating the
open circuit votages and short circuit currents of the above two sources we obtain
Voc=IsR1=Vs
Isc=Is=Vs/Rv
It follows that
R1=Rv=Rs; Vs=IsRs
where Rs is the internal resistance of the voltage or current source. Therefore, any
practical voltage source, having an ideal voltage Vs and internal series resistance R s can be
replaced by a current source Is=Vs/Rs in parallel with an internal resistance Rs. The reverse
tansformation is also possible. Thus, a practical current source in parallel with an internal
resistance Rs can be replaced by a voltage source Vs=IsRs in series with an internal resistance
Rs.

COMPENSATION THEOREM :
Statement :
It’s states that in a circuit any resistance ‘R” in a branch of network in
which a current ‘I’ is flowing can be replaced. For the purposes of calculations
by a voltage source = - IR
OR
If the resistance of any branch of network is changed from R to R +4R
where the current flowing originaly is i. The change current at any other place
in the network may be calculated by assuming that one e.m.f – I R has been
injected into the modified branch. While all other sources have their e.m.f.
suppressed and ‘R’ represented by their internal resistances only.
Exp – (01)

Statement :
It states that in any bilateral network, if a source of e.m.f ‘E’ in any
branch produces a current ‘I’ any other branch. Then the same e.m.f ‘E’ acting
in the second branch would produce the same current ‘I’ in the 1st branch.

COUPLED CIRCUITS
It is defined as the interconnected loops of an electric network through the
magnetic circuit.
There are two types of induced emf.
(1) Statically Induced emf.
(2) Dynamically Induced emf.
Faraday’s Laws of Electro-Magnetic :
Introduction First Law :
Whenever the magnetic flux linked with a circuit changes, an emf is induced in
it.
OR
Whenever a conductor cuts magnetic flux an emf is induced in it.
Second Law :
It states that the magnitude of induced emf is equal to the rate of change of flux
linkages.
OR
The emf induced is directly proportional to the rate of change of flux and
number of turns
Mathematically :
d
e
dt
e N
d
Or e = N
dt
Where e = induced emf
N = No. of turns
= flux
‘- ve’ sign is due to Lenz’s Law
Inductance :
It is defined as the property of the substance which opposes any change in
Current & flux.
Unit : Henry
Fleming’s Right Hand Rule:
It states that “hold your right hand with fore-finger, middle finger and
thumb at right angles to each other. If the fore-finger represents the direction of
field, thumb represents the direction of motion of the conductor, then the middle
finger represents the direction of induced emf.”
Lenz’s Law :
It states that electromagnetically induced current always flows in such a
direction that the action of magnetic field set up by it tends to oppose the vary
cause which produces it.
OR
It states that the direction of the induced current (emf) is such that it
opposes the change of magnetic flux.
(2) Dynamically Induced emf :
In this case the field is stationary and the conductors are rotating in an
uniform magnetic field at flux density ‘B” Wb/mt2 and the conductor is lying
perpendicular to the magnetic field. Let ‘l’ is the length of the conductor and it
moves a distance of ‘dx’ nt in time ‘dt’ second.
The area swept by the conductor = l. dx
Hence the flux cut = ldx. B
Bldx
Change in flux in time ‘dt’ second =
dt
E = Blv
dx
Where V
dt
If the conductor is making an angle ‘’ with the magnetic field, then
e = Blv sin
(1) Statically Induced emf :
Here the conductors are remain in stationary and flux linked with it
changes by increasing or decreasing.
It is divided into two types .
(i) Self-induced emf.
(ii) Mutually-induced emf.
(i) Self-induced emf : It is defined as the emf induced in a coil due to the
change of its own flux linked with the coil.
If current through the coil is changed then the flux linked with its own
turn will also change which will produce an emf is called self-induced emf.
Self-Inductance :
It is defined as the property of the coil due to which it opposes any
change (increase or decrease) of current or flux through it.

TRANSIENTS
Whenever a network containing energy storage elements such as inductor or capacitor is
switched from one condition to another,either by change in applied source or change in
network elements,the response current and voltage change from one state to the other
[Link] time taken to change from an initial steady state to the final steady state is known
as the transient [Link] response is known as transient response or [Link]
response of the network after it attains a final steady value is independent of time and is
called the steady‐state [Link] complete response of the network is determined with
the help of a differential equation.
In a network containing energy storage elements, with change in excitation, the currents
and voltages in the circuit change from one state to other state. The behaviour of the
voltage or current when it is changed from one state to another is called the transient state.
The time taken for the circuit to change from one steady state to another steady state is
called the transient time. The application of KVL and KCL to circuits containing energy
storage elements results in differential, rather than algebraic equations. when we consider a
circuit containing storage elements which are independent of the sources, the response
depends upon the nature of the circuit and is called natural response. Storage elements
deliver their energy to the resistances. Hence, the response changes, gets saturated after
some time,and is referred to as the transient response. When we consider a source acting
on a circuit, the response depends on the nature of the source or [Link] response is
called forced response. In other words,the complete response of a circuit consists of two
parts; the forced response and the transient response. When we consider a differential
equation, the complete solution consists of two parts: the complementary function and the
particular solution. The complementary function dies out after short interval, and is referred
to as the transient response or source free response. The particular solution is the steady
state response, or the forced response. The first step in finding the complete solution of a
circuit is to form a differential equation for the circuit. By obtaining the differential
equation, several methods can be used to find out the complete solution.

In the above equation , the current I is the solution to be found and V is the applied constant

Where c is an arbitrary constant. In a similar way , we can write the current equation as

Hence , i =c + ...................................1.5
To determine the value of c in equation c , we use the initial conditions .In the circuit shown in
Fig.1.1, the switch s is closed at t=[Link] t=0‐,i.e. just before closing the switch s , the current in the
inductor is zero. Since the inductor does not allow sudden changes in currents, at t=o+ just after
the switch is closed,the current remains zero.
Thus at t = 0, i =0

Equation d consists of two parts, the steady state part V/R) and the transient part .
When switch S is closed , the response reaches a steady state value after a time interval as
shown in figure 1.2.
Here the transition period is defined as the time taken for the current to reach its final
or stedy state value from its initial [Link] the transient part of the solution, the
quantity L/R is important in describing the curve since L/R is the time period required
for the current to reach its initial value of zero to the final value V/R. The time
constant of a function is the time at which the exponent of e is unity, where e
is the base of the natural [Link] term L/R is called the time constant and is
denoted by τ .
So, τ = sec

At one Time constant , the transient term reaches 36.8 percent of its initial value.

After 5 TC the transient part reaches more than 99 percent of its final value.

TWO PORT NETWORKS
Generally, any network may be represented schematically by a rectangular box. A network may be
used for representing either Source or Load , or for a variety of purposes. A pair of terminals at
which a signal may enter or leave a network is called a port. A port is defined as any pair of terminals
into which energy is withdrawn ,or where the network variables may be measured .One such
network having only one pair of terminals (1‐1’)is shown figure 1.1.

A two‐port network is simply a network a network inside a black box, and the network has only two
pairs of accessible terminals; usually one one pairs represents the input and the other represents the
output. Such a building block is very common in electronic systems, communication system,
transmission and distribution system. fig 1.1 shows a two‐port network,or two terminal pair
network,in which the four terminals have been paired into ports 1‐1’ and 2‐2’.The terminals 1‐1’
together constitute a port. Similarly, the terminals 2‐2’ constitute another port. Two ports containing
no sources in their branches are called passive ports ; among them are power transmission lines and
transformers. Two ports containing source in their branches are called active ports. A voltage and

CLASSIFICATION OF FILTERS
A filter is a reactive network that freely passes the desired band of frequencies while almost
totally suppressing all other bands. A filter is constructed from purely reactive elements, for
otherwise the attenuation would never becomes zero i n the pass band of the filter network.
Filters differ from simple resonant circuit in providing a substantially constant transmission
over the band which they accept; this band may lie between any limits depending on the
design. Ideally, filters should produce no attenuation in the desired band, called the
transmission band or pass band, and should provide total or infinite attenuation at all other
frequencies, called attenuation band or stop band. The frequency which separates the
transmission band and the attenuation band is defined as the cut‐off frequency of the wave
filters, and is designated by fc
Filter networks are widely used in communication systems to separate various voice
channels in carrier frequency telephone circuits. Filters also find applications in instrumentation,
telemetering equipment etc. where it is necessary to transmit or attenuate a limited range of
frequencies. A filter may, in principle, have any number of pass bands separated by attenuation
[Link], they are classified into four common types, [Link] pass, high pass, band pass and
band elimination.
From fig. 9.1 (a) the number of nepers, N= log e [V1/V2] or loge [I1/I2]. A neper can also be
expressed in terms of input power,P1 and the output power P2 as N=1/2 loge P1/P2. A decibel is
defined as ten times the common logarithms of the ratio of the input power to the output power.
Fig.9.1 (b)
FILTER NETWORKS
Ideally a filter should have zero attenuation in the pass band. This condition can only be
satisfied if the elements of the filter are [Link] cannot be realized in practice. Filters
are designed with an assumption that the elements of the filters are purely reactive. Filters are made
of symmetrical T, or π section. T and π section can be considered as combination of unsymmetrical L
sections as shown in Fig.9.2.
Fig. 9.2
The ladder structure is one of the commonest forms of filter network. A cascade
connection of several T and π sections constitutes a ladder network. A common form of the ladder
network is shown in Fig.9.3.
Figure 9.3(a) represents a T section ladder network, whereas Fig.9.3 (b) represents the π section
ladder network. It can be observed that both networks are identical except at the ends.
Fig. 9.3
T‐Network
Consider a symmetrical T‐network as shown in Fig. 9.4.
Fig.9.4
If the image impedances at port 1‐1' and port 2‐2' are equal to each other ,the image
impedance is then called the characteristic, or the iterative impedance, Z 0 .Thus, if the network in
Fig.9.4 is terminated in Z 0 , its input impedance will also be Z 0 . The value of input impedance for
the T‐network when it is terminated in Z 0 is given by
The characteristic impedance of a symmetrical T‐section is
(9.1)
Z0T can also be expressed in terms of open circuit impedance Z0C and short circuit impedance
Z SC of the T – network . From Fig. 9.4, the open circuit impedance Z 0C = Z1/2 + Z 2 and
(9.2)

(9.3)
(9.4)
Squaring Esq. 9.3 and 9.4 and subtracting Eq.9.4 from Eq.9.3, we get
Rearranging the above equation, we have
(9.5)
Still another expression may obtained for the complex propagation constant in terms of
the hyperbolic tangent rather than hyperbolic cosine.
(9.6)
(9.7)
π – Network
Consider asymmetrical π – section shown in Fig. 9.6. When the network is terminated in Z 0 at port 2
– 2 ‘, its input impedance is given by
Fig.9.6
(9.8)
(9.9)
Z 0π can be expressed in terms of the open circuit impedance Z 0C and short circuit impedance
Z SC of the π network shown in Fig.9.6 exclusive of the load Z 0 .
From Fig.9.6, the input impedance at port 1‐ 1’ when port 2 – 2’ is open is given by
Similarly, the input impedance at port 1 – 1’ when port 2 – 2’ is short circuit is given by
(9.10)
If Z1 and Z2 are both pure imaginary values, their ratio, and hence Z1 /4Z2 , will be a pure real
number. Since Z1 and Z2 may be anywhere in the range from ‐jα to +jα , Z1 / 4Z2 may also have any
real value between the infinite limits . Then sin h У/2 = √Z 1 /√4Z2 will also have infinite limits, but
may be either real or imaginary depending upon whether Z1 / 4Z2 is positive or negative.
We know that the propagation constant is a complex function У = α+jβ , the real part of the
complex propagation constant α , is a measure of the change in magnitude of the current or voltage
in the network ,known as the attenuation constant . β is a measure of the difference in phase
between the input and output currents or voltages. Known as phase shift constant Therefore α and β
take on different values depending upon the of Z1/ 4Z2 . From Eq.9.7, We have
(9.11)
Case A
If Z1 and Z2 are the same type of reactances, then [Z1 / 4Z2 ] is real and equal to say α+x .
(9.12)
(9.13)
Equation 9.12 can be satisfied if β/2 = 0 or nπ, where n = 0, 1, 2,….., then cos β/2 = 1 and sinh α/2= x
=√( Z1 / 4Z2 )
(9.14)
Since α ≠0, it indicates that the attenuation exists.
Case B
Consider the case of Z1 and Z2 being opposite type of reactances, i.e. Z1 / 4Z2 is negative ,
making √ Z1 / 4Z2 imaginary and equal to say Jx
(9.15)
(9.16)
Both the equations must be satisfied simultaneously by α and β. Equation 9.15 may be satisfied
when α = 0, or when β = π. These conditions are considered separately hereunder
(i) When α = 0; from Eq. 9.15, sinh α/2 =[Link] from Eq.9.16 sin β/2 = x = √( Z 1 / 4Z2) . But the
sine can have a maximum value of 1. Therefore, the above solution is valid only for negative Z1 / 4Z2
, and having maximum value of unity. It indicates the condition of pass band with zero attenuation
and follows the condition as
(9.17)
(ii) When β = π, from Eq.9.15, cos β/2 = 0. And from Eq.9.16, sin β/2 = ± 1; cosh α/2 = x = √ (Z1 / 4Z2)
.
Since cosh α/2 ≥ 1, this solution is valid for negative Z 1 / 4Z2 ,and having magnitude
greater than, or equal to unity. It indicates the condition of stop band since α ≠ 0.
(9.18)
It can be observed that there are three limits for case A and B. Knowing the values of
Z1 and Z2 , it is possible to determine the case to be applied to the filter. Z 1 and Z2 are made of
different types of reactances, or combinations of reactances, so that, as the frequency changes, a
filter may pass from one case to another. Case A and (ii) in case B are attenuation bands, whereas (i)
in case B is the transmission band.
The frequency which separates the attenuation band from pass band or vice versa is
called cut‐off frequency. The cut‐off frequency is denoted by fC , and is also termed as nominal
frequency. Since Z0 is real in the pass band and imaginary in an attenuation band, fC is the frequency
at which Z0 changes from being real to being imaginary. These frequencies occur at
9.18(a)
9.18 (b)
The above conditions can be represented graphically, as in Fig.9.7.
Fig. 9.7
CHARACTERISTIC IMPEDANCE IN
THE PASS AND STOP BANDS
Referring to the characteristic impedance of a symmetrical T‐network, from Eq. 9.1 We have
Substituting these conditions in Eq. 9.19, we find that Z OT is positive and real. Now consider
the stop band. A stop band exists when x1 and x2 are of the same type of reactances; then x1/4x2 > 0.
Substituting these conditions in Eq. 9.19, we find that Z OT is purley imaginary in this attenuation
region. Another stop band exists when x1 and x 2 are of the same type of reactances, but with x1/4x2
< ‐[Link] from Eq.9.19, ZOT is again purly imaginary in the attenuation region.
Thus, in a pass band if a network is terminated in a pure resistance RO(ZOT = RO), the input
impedance is RO and the network transmits the power received from the source to the RO without
any attenuation. In a stop band ZOT is reactive. Therefore, if the network is terminated in a pure
reactance ( ZO = pure reactance), the input impedance is reactive, and cannot receive or transmit
power. However, the network transmits voltage and current with 900 phase difference and with
attenuation. It has already been shown that the characteristics impedance of a symmet rical π‐
section can be expressed in terms of T. Thus, from Eq.9.9,Z0π = Z1Z2/Z0T .
Since Z1 and Z2 are purely reactive, Z0π is real, if ZOT is real and Z0x is imaginary if ZOT is
imaginary. Thus the conditions developed for T – section are valid for π – sections.
Z 1 Z 2 = k2
(9.20)
Where Z1 and Z2 are impedances in the T and π sections as shown in [Link] 9.20 states
that Z1 and Z2 are inverse if their product is a constant, independent of frequency. K is a real
constant that is the resistance. k is often termed as design impedance or nominal impedance of the
constant k – filter.
The constant k, T or π type filter is also known as the prototype because other more complex
network can be derived from it. A prototype T and π – section are shown in
Fig.9.8
Fig.9.8 (a) and (b), where Z1 = jωL and Z2 = 1 / jωC . Hence Z1Z2 = L /C = k2 which is
independent of frequency.
(9.21)
Since the product Z1 and Z2 is constant, the filter is a constant – k type. From Eq.9.18 (a) the
cut‐off frequencies are Z1 /4Z2 = 0,
(9.22)
The pass band can be determined graphically. The reactances of Z1 and 4Z2 will vary with
frequency as drawn in [Link] cut‐off frequency at the intersection of the curves Z1 and ‐4z2 is
indicated as fC . On the X – axis as Z1 = ‐4Z2 at cut‐off frequency, the pass band lies between the
frequencies at which Z1 = 0, and Z1 = ‐ 4Z2 .
Fig.9.9
All the frequencies above fC lie in a stop or attenuation band , thus, the network is called a low‐
pass filter . We also have from Eq.9.7 that
From Eq.9.22
The plots of α and β for pass and stop bands are shown in Fig.9.10
Thus, from Fig. 9.10, α = 0, β = 2 sinh‐1 (f /fC ) for f < fC
Fig .9.10
(9.23)
From Eq.9.23, ZOT is rael when f< fC , [Link] the pass band at f = fC , ZOT ; and for f > fC , ZOT is
imaginary in the attenuation band , rising to infinite reactance at infinite frequency . The variation of
ZOT with frequency is shown in Fig.9.11
Fig.9.11
(9.24)
The variation of ZOπ with frequency is shown in Fig.9.11 . For f <fC , ZOπ is real ; at f = fC , ZOT is
infinite , and for f > fC , ZOπ is imaginary . A low pass filter can be designed from the specifications of
cut‐off frequency and load resistance.
Example 9.1.
Design a low pass filter (both π and T – sections ) having a cut‐off frequency of 2 kHz
to operate with a terminated load resistance of 500 Ω .
Fig.9.12
Fig.9.13
Again, it can be observed that the product of Z1 and Z2 is independent of frequency, and the
filter design obtained will be of the constant k type .Thus, Z1Z2 are given by
Z1 = 0 indicates j/ωC = 0 , or ω → α
From Z1 = ‐ 4Z2
‐j/ωC = ‐ 4 jωL
ω2LC = 1/4
(9.25)
Fig.9.14
As seen from Fig.9.14, the filter transmits all frequencies between f = fC and f = α. The point fC
from the graph is a point at which Z1= ‐ 4Z2 .
From Eq.9.7,
= 2 cos‐1(fC / f ) ; β = ‐ π
Fig.9.15
The plots of α and β for pass and stop bands of a high pass filter network are shown in Fig.9.15.
A high pass filter may be designed similar to the low pass filter by choosing a resistive load
r equal to the constant k , such that R = k = √L/C
The characteristic impedance can be calculated using the relation
(9.26)
Fig.9.16
Example 9.2.
Design a high pass filter having a cut‐off frequency of 1 kHz with a load resistance
of 600 Ω .
Fig.9.17
This is because practical elements have a certain resistance, which gives rise to
attenuation in the pass band also. Therefore, any attempt to increase attenuation in stop band by
cascading also results in an increase of ‘α’ in the pass band .If the constant k section is regarded as
the prototype, it is possible to design a filter to have rapid attenuation in the stop band , and the
same characteristic impedance as the prototype at all frequencies . Such a filter is called m – derived
filter. Suppose a prototype T – network shown in Fig.9.18(a) has the series arm modified as shown in
Fig.9.18 (b) , where m is a constant . Equating the characteristic impedance of the networks in
Fig.9.18, we have
Fig.9.18
ZOT = ZOT ,
Where ZOT ,is the characteristic impedance of the modified (m – derived) T – network.
(9.27)
It appears that the shunt arm Z ‘ 2consists of two impedances in series as shown in Fig.9.19.
Fig.9.19
From Eq.9.27, 1 – m2/4m should be positive to realize the impedance Z ‘2 physically ,
i.e.0<m<1 . Thus m – derived section can be obtained from the prototype by modifying its series and
shunt arms .The same technique can be applied to π section network. Suppose a prototype π –
network shown in Fig. 9.20 (a) has the shunt arm modified as shown in Fig. 9.20(b).
Fig.9.20
Z0π = Z ‘0π
(9.28)
It appears that the series arm of the m – derived π section is a parallel combination of mZ1 and
4mZ2 /1 – m2 . The derived m section is shown in Fig.9.21.
In Fig.9.22 , both m – derived low pass T and π filter sections are shown. For the T –section shown in
Fig.9.22(a) , the shunt arm is to be chosen so that it is resonant at some frequency fα above cut‐off
frequency fC .
If the shunt arm is series resonant ,its impedance will be minimum or zero .Therefore , the
output is zero and will correspond to infinite attenuation at this particular frequency . Thus, at fα
Fig.9.22
Since the cut‐off frequency for the low pass filter is fc = 1/π√LC
(9.29)
(9.30)
If a sharp cut‐off is desired,fα should be near to fc . From Eq.9.29,it is clear that for the
smaller the value of m,fα comes close to fc .Equation 9.30 shows that if fc and fα are specified , the
necessary value of m may then be calculated. Similarly, for m – derived π section, the inductance
and capacitance in the series arm constitute a resonant circuit . Thus , at fα a frequency corresponds
to infinite attenuation, i.e. at fα
(9.31)
Thus for both m – derived low pass networks for a positive value of m(0 < m < 1) , fα > fc .
Equations 9.30 or 9.31 can be used to choose the value of m, knowing fc and fr . After the value of
m is evaluated, the elements of the T or π – networks can be found from Fig.9.22. The variation of
attenuation for a low pass m – derived section can be verified from α = 2 cosh‐1 √Z1/4Z2 for fc< f < fα .
For Z1 = jωL and Z2 = ‐j/ωC for the prototype.
Figure 9.23 shows the variation of α , β and Z0 with respect to frequency for an m – derived
low pass filter.
Fig.9.23
Example 9.3
Design a m – derived low pass filter having cut‐off frequency of 1kHz, design
impedance of 400 Ω, and the resonant frequency 1100 Hz.
From Eq.9.30
Let us design the values of L and C for a low pass , K – type filter (prototype filter).
Thus,
The elements of m – derived low pass sections can be obtained with reference to Fig.9.22.
Fig.9.24
From Eq. 9.25, the cut – off frequency fC of a high pass prototype filter is given by
(9.32)
(9.33)
Similarly,for the m – derived π – section , the resonant circuit is constituted by the series
arm inductance and capacitance . Thus , at fα
Fig.9.26
Thus the frequency corresponding to infinite attenuation is the same for both sections.
Equation 9.33 may be used to determine m for a given fα and fC . The elements of the m –
derived high pass T or π – sections can be found from Fig.9.25. The variation of α, β and Z 0 with
frequency is shown in Fig. 9.26.
Fig.9.26
Example 9.4.
Design a m‐derived high pass filter with a cut‐off frequency of 10kHz; design
impedance of 5Ω and m = 0.4.
The elements of m‐derived high pass sections can be obtained with reference to [Link],
the T‐section elements are
T and π sections of the m –derived high pass filter are shown in Fig.9.27.
Fig.9.27
Consider the circuit in Fig.9.28, each arm has a resonant circuit with same resonant
frequency, i.e. the resonant frequency of the series arm and the resonant frequency of the shunt
arm are made equal to obtain the band pass characteristic.
Fig.9.28
(9.34)
(9.35)
(9.36)
From Eq.9.36
Where k is constant. Thus, the filter is a constant k – type .Therefore, for a constant k – type in the
pass band.
i.e. the value of Z1 at lower cut‐off frequency is equal to the negative of the value of Z 1 at the upper
cut‐off frequency .
(9.37)
(9.38)
Fig.9.29
Thus, the resonant frequency is the geometric mean of the cut‐off frequencies. The
variation of the reactances with respect to frequency is shown in Fig.9.29.
If the filter is terminated in a load resistance R = K , then at the lower cut‐off frequency.
