Bandwith and frequency

I this lab we will investigate a simple wave receiver. We will analyze the bandwidth and the quality factor
here is a picture of the circuit built
 
 
here are the calculations
on the right side we have the theoretical calculations and in the left we have the measured values.

we have seen that as we increase the frequency our current will decrease. and as we increase the resistance in the circuit the quality factor decreases
 

Frequency Response and filters

Objective
to verify the reaction of high and low pas filters
we will build a simple circuit using 1k resistor and 1 micro Farad Capacitor
Here is the circuit
 

 
 
Here are the calculation for the low pass filter
Notice that the voltage is taken off the capacitor
 
 
 

 
 
Here are the calculations for the high pass filter
Notice that the voltage is taken from the Resistor
 



 
 
After the experiment we found out that the filters actually filter voltages. high pass removes the low frequency voltage and the low pass filter removes the high frequency filters.

AC signals

In-Class Demonstration by Prof. Mason to display what AC signals look like
 
 sinusoidal wave
 
 
same wave at a higher frequency

the true value of the capacitor connected was 3.3 microfarads. could not solve for such capacitor

Freemat lab

The objective of this lab is to learn how to use freemat in order to solve mathematical matrices involving imaginary numbers.
 
use freemat to solve nodal analysis
 

 
 
 
assignment 2 solve matrices with imaginary numbers.



 
 
overall it is highly visible that using freemat, the tedious math becomes much more easy. in conclusion it is highly visible why this computational program is a very helpful tool for engineers.


Integrating and differentiating op amp

 
We proceed signals through with circuits involving Resistors Capacitors and op amp
 
integrating op amp  decrease in amplitude and similar frequency
 

 
 
 

Saturation. The voltage applied to the OP amp wasn't enough to apply the necessary change, so the output became a square wave with a capacitor-like exponential decay




differential op amp amplitude decrease ant there is a phase shift.
