Title: To study the frequency response of RC High Pass filter.

Theory:
Filters are essential components in electronic circuits used to modify the amplitude
and phase characteristics of input signals. The RC high pass filter consists of a resistor (R) and a
capacitor (C) connected in series. It allows higher frequencies to pass through while attenuating
lower frequencies. The behavior of the filter can be described by its transfer function, which relates
the output voltage to the input voltage as a function of frequency.

The transfer function of an RC high pass filter is given by:

𝐻(𝑗𝜔) = 𝑗𝜔𝑅𝐶 / (1 + 𝑗𝜔𝑅𝐶)

Procedure:
 The circuit setup for the RC high pass filter was prepared by connecting a resistor
and a capacitor in series on experimental board.
 The input signal was generated using a function generator and connected to the
input of the RC high pass filter.
 The output voltage across the filter was measured using an oscilloscope.
 The frequency of the input signal was varied, and the corresponding output
voltage was recorded for each frequency.
 The measurements were taken across a range of frequencies, starting from a high
frequency and gradually decreasing to lower frequencies.
 The experiment was repeated three times to ensure the consistency of the results.

Observations:

 The input signal was generated using a function generator and connected to the
input of the RC high pass filter.
 The output voltage across the filter was measured using an oscilloscope.
 The frequency of the input signal was varied, and the corresponding output
voltage was recorded for each frequency.
 The measurements were taken across a range of frequencies, starting from a high
frequency and gradually decreasing to lower frequencies.
 The experiment was repeated three times to ensure the consistency of the results.

This plot is known as a Bode plot.
The cutoff frequency (fc) of the filter can be determined by finding the frequency at which the
output voltage is reduced by 3 dB (approximately 70.7% of the input voltage). In this
experiment, the cutoff frequency was found to be approximately 1,000 Hz.

Conclusion:
 Understanding the frequency response of filters is crucial in various applications,
such as audio processing, signal conditioning, and communications. The RC high
pass filter, in particular, finds widespread use in electronic circuits toprepared by
