Interpretation of Results In the first part of the experiment, which is pad and attenuators, 600 ohms output impedance

was observed in both T pad and Pi pad. Since T-pad and Pi-pad are symmetrical networks, their resistors can be computed using the k-derived equations. Also for symmetrical networks, we can say that the characteristic impedance is equal to its iterative impedance. For the second table, we can say that the input voltage attenuated resulting to a low output voltage. The decrease in voltage depends on the attenuation. Also, the lower the output voltage, the greater is the insertion loss. For the third table, the terminating resistance varies which also makes the input impedance vary. It can be seen that they are directly proportional to each other. If the terminating resistance increases, the input impedance also increases. The second part of the experiment is all about passive filters which includes low pass and high pass filters. In any connection whether L or Pi type, circuit operates at a low frequency when it is in low pass filter and operates at a high frequency when it is in high pass filter connection. This theory was justified through our experiment. In low pass filter, at high frequencies the capacitor becomes shorted producing 0V at the output and only produces an output voltage on low frequencies. While in high pass filter, at low frequencies the capacitor is open or no current will flow at the output. Therefore, the output voltage only exists at high frequencies. Last part is all about the phase of two signals with same and different frequency. On the first part of this part, which considers same frequency, different Lissajous figures were observed which is dependent on the phase difference of the two signals. At the unknown frequency signal, at least 5 loops must be observed but it is hard to determine how many loops were seen. So we adjusted the frequency until we see the loops. Since the multiplier is 1 kHz, the number of loops is 5, and when we multiplied it, the resulting frequency is 5 kHz. This satisfies the frequency that we measured from the oscilloscope.
