THEORY
The kind of filter circuits in which Low pass and High pass exist within the same circuit are
known as pass band circuits. The region of frequencies lying between high cut-off and low cut-
off is known as the Bandwidth (BW).
Such filters circuits employ all three components: resistors, inductors and capacitors and work on
the principle of Resonance. A circuit is said to be in resonance when the total energy in the
circuits transfers between inductor and capacitor and doesn’t dissipate across the resistance. The
total energy stored in the inductor in the form of magnetic field is transferred to the capacitor and
is stored in the form of electric field. The capacitor then discharges so that the energy is again
transferred to the inductor which stores it in the form of magnetic field. At resonance, X L = XC
i.e. the reactance cancels out the effect of each other and the circuit is purely resistive.
A band-stop filter or band-rejection filter is a filter that passes most frequencies unaltered, but
attenuates those in a specific range to very low levels. It is also known as a 'band-elimination'
filter or a 'band-rejection filter'. It is the opposite of a band-pass filter. A special type of band-
stop filter, known as the 'notch filter', is one whose stopband is very narrow, thus creating a
'notch' in the frequencies allowed to pass. The notch filter is therefore a band-stop filter that has a
high Q factor. Combining several notch filters together forms a 'comb filter', which is a filter that
has multiple stopbands.

PROCEDURE
1. Construct the network of the figure given below. Insert the measured value of the resistor
R.
Fig 10.1
2. Calculate the resonance frequency fr of the parallel resonant circuit. Show all
working. fp = 11.26KHz
3. Using the resonant frequency, calculate the quality factor of the circuit.
Ql = XL /R =2x3.14x11.6x10^3x1x10^-3/100=0.707
4. Calculate the bandwidth of the resonant circuit by using the resonant frequency

5. Determine the impedance at resonance of the parallel resonant network. Calculate the
magnitude of the voltage Vo at resonance using measured resistor values and calculate the
ratio Vo/Vi.
Vo/Vi = ______________
6. Energize the network and set the signal generator to each of the frequencies appearing in
Table 10.1. For each of the frequency in the table, set the value of the input voltage to Vi
= 8 V(p-p). Measure Vo(p-p) and calculate the ratio Av.
7. Plot Av versus frequency on Graph 10.1. Clearly identify each plot point and label the
curve.
8. Draw a horizontal dashed line at 0.707 (Av(max)) to define the bandwidth of the filter and
record below. What is the difference between the bandwidth calculated in part 4 and this
bandwidth?
BW = _______________
9. Determine the maximum value of Av and compare to the calculated level of part 5.

frequencies will, therefore, pass through the filter with measurable amount of power?
