Experiment NO:09 Objective:

Passive high pass filter

APPARTUS:
Signal function generator Resister Capacitor Multimeter Bread board Connecting wires

Conceptual background:
The impedance of a capacitor is inversely proportional to frequency. This characteristic can be used to select or reject certain frequencies of an input signal. This selection and rejection of frequencies is called filtering, and a circuit which does this is called a filter. The R-C filter, incredibly simple in design, it can be used as a low-pass or a high-pass filter. We are discussing high pass filter so If the output is taken off the resistor, it will respond as a high pass filter.

circuit diagram:

At very high frequencies the reactance of the capacitor is very small, and the short circuit equivalent can be substituted, as shown in Fig. (2)The result is that Vo =Vi.

Fig.(2) R-C high-pass filter at very high frequencies. At f = 0 Hz, the reactance of the capacitor is quite high, and the open-circuit equivalent can be substituted, as shown in Fig. (3). In this case, Vo = zero V.

Graph of the magnitude versus frequency:

Procedure:
Firstly Measure the values of components using DMM. Then patch the circuit on the breadboard as shown in figure 1.

figure 1 Set the amplitude of function generator to 5v p-p very the frequency and measure Vo for every setting of (f). tabulate your result as in table (1).
