Note: For Question-6, refer to the books for Sallen-key topology to design second
order active filters.
Question-1: Find the -3dB frequency, and voltage outputs of the following circuit at 2kHz
and 10kHz. Vin = 1V, R = 2 kΩ, and C = 2 µF. Draw a qualitative curve for gain G(ω) and
phase φ(ω) as a function of the frequency, ω. Identify the pass, transition and stop bands.
Estimate the slope of the gain curve in the transition band.
Question-2: Find the cut-oO frequency, and voltage outputs of the following circuit at
1kHz and 5kHz. Vin = 1V, R = 1 kΩ, and C = 4 µF. Identify the type of passive filter the
circuit represents.
Question-3: Think about and evaluate the functionalities of the following circuit.
Question-4: Work out the working of the following circuits and calculate the output
voltages.
Question-5: A transfer function with 𝐻! = 1 has a zero at 𝑠 = 1 𝑘𝑁𝑝/𝑠 and a pole pair
at −1 ± 𝑗1 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑥 𝑘𝑁𝑝/𝑠 . (a) Find its impulse response. (b) Find it’s steady-state
response to an ac input with unity amplitude, zero phase, and 𝜔 = 1 𝑘𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠.
Question-6: Derive the transfer function of the following circuit, and derive expressions
for the cutoO frequency, and the quality factor Q. Note that ‘A’ is the closed loop gain of
the operational amplifier (OPAM) and the input is assumed to be connected to the non-
inverting terminal of the OPAM. Subsequently, design filters using the same topology and
the following parameters (with gain ‘A’ =5): (a) make a second order low pass filter with a
cutoO frequency 𝑓" = 3𝑘𝐻𝑧 and a quality factor of Q = 1.3. (b) make a second order high
pass filter with a cutoO frequency 𝑓" = 1𝑘𝐻𝑧 and a quality factor of Q = 1.2.
