    The document discusses single time constant (STC) networks. Key points: - STC networks have a single time constant τ that depends on resistance R and capacitance C or inductance L. - Common STC networks are low-pass and high-pass filters. Low-pass filters pass low frequencies and attenuate high frequencies. High-pass filters do the opposite. - The frequency response of STC networks can be derived and depends on the cut-off frequency ω0, which is equal to 1/τ. For low-pass networks, the magnitude decreases by 6 dB per octave above ω0. For high-pass, it increases by 6 dB per octave below ω0

    SINGLE-TIME-CONSTANT NETWORK

    STC Circuits

    Time constant = CR for an RC network; = L/R for an LR network.

    Example: Reduce the network to an STC network, and find its time constant.

    Thevenin

    Rth=(R1||R2+R3)||R4

    Rth=

    Vth

    = Rth C = [ R4 || (( R1 || R2 ) + R3 )] C
    Example: Reduce to a STC, and obtain .

    C1
    VI

    C2

    VO
    -

    Cth

    C th = C1 + C 2
    = R(C1 + C 2 )
    Example: COMPENSATED ATTENUATOR

    USING SUPERPOSITION

    LPF

    HPF

    vo = vo1 + v o 2

    = ( R1 || R2 )(C1 + C 2 )

    Classification of STC Networks


    STC: HP High-Pass
    LP Low-Pass

    High-Pass Type:

    T ( j ) =

    0 is cut-off frequency, which is constant.

    K
    1 + j ( / 0 )
    0 =

    = time constant

    Example:

    VO ( s)
    1 / SC
    1
    1
    1
    =
    =
    =
    =
    VI ( s) R + 1 / SC 1 + SRC 1 + S 1 + ( S / 0 )

    | T ( j ) |=

    K
    1+ (

    2
    )
    0

    ( ) = tan 1 ( / 0 )

    Let

    >> 1
    0

    | T ( j ) | K

    i.e. if doubles in value (an octave), |T(j)| is halved.


    20 log10 0.5 = 6dB / octave
    if increases by a factor of 10 (a decade), |T(j)| drops to 1/10th of its value.

    10 log10 0.1 = 20dB / decade

    =
    Vi ( s ) R + 1 1 + sCR 1 + ( s / 0 ) s + 0
    sC
    In general:

    T ( s) =

    Ks
    s + 0

    | T ( j ) |=

    = tan 1 (

    Kj
