The first-order low-pass active filter shown in the figure has a transfer function given by (show
this):
R2 1
 
H(jω) = 1 + . (1)
R1 1 + jω/ω0
The low-frequency gain of the filter is controlled by the ratio R2 /R1 whereas the cut-off
1 1
frequency f0 = .
2π RC

Exercise Set

1. For the component values shown in the figure, what is the low-frequency gain? What is
the cut-off frequency f0 ?

2. What will happen to the magnitude frequency response of the filter if R2 is changed to
20 kΩ?

3. What will happen to the magnitude frequency response of the filter if C is changed to
100 nF ?

For each question, check your answers with simulation.
