TINA software to verify the cut off frequency and frequency response of each filters individually
and in cascaded form,then compensating for the losses incurred in Practical versus Simulation
results.
INTRODUCTION
Filters are networks that process signals in a frequency-dependent manner. Examining the frequency dependent nature of capacitors and inductors one can predict the nature of filters and its working [1] . Many
types of filters are essential for the operation of electronic circuit, So if one if interested in filter design in
electronics should have the ability to develop circuits related to filters meeting the user specifications [2]. It
can be designed to separate signals, pass some of the signals which are useful and stop which are not useful
for the application, as an example[4,5]
1. Radio receiver: Where we want the certain signals we are interested in and all other signals should be
attenuated which can be controlled with gain[1].
2. Data conversion: Filters are also used to remove the effects of aliases in A/D systems, Used in reconstruction of the signal at the output of Digital to analog systems, which eliminates higher frequency
components resulting in smoothing of waveform [1].
Types of filters:
1. Low Pass Filter: Its a type of filter which allows low frequency range signals to pass through and
stops high frequency signals .
Page 1 of 21
4. Band Stop Filter/Band Reject/Notch Filter: This filters allow a particular range of frequency
above and below based on component values it rejects the frequency ranges its assigned to.Circuit
diagram will be same but the combination of it will be opposite to figure 3.
Where
fc = Cut off frequency of both high pass and low pass filters
fl = lower cut off frequency of band pass and band stop filters
fh = higher cut off frequency of band pass and band stop filters

PROCEDURE
PRELIMINARY SETTINGS
1. All the Oscilloscope probes must be checked for accuracy of the readings.
2. Multimeter must show zero reading or atleast minimum reading for ground to ground readings.
3. Probes must display exactly 5 volts peak to peak.
4. Signal generator must be set to 10 volts input of probe 1(Channel 1) of oscilloscope which will be used
as input and probe 2(Channel 2) to be used as output.
Figure 5: Filter A
1. Filter A is taken and the corresponding measurements are made with multimeter:
(a) Input with respect to Ground1 readings are taken.
(b) Output with respect to Ground2 readings are taken.
(c) Ground1 with respect to Ground2 readings are taken.
(d) Input with respect to Output readings are taken.
2. All the readings taken are necessary, as with this readings one can decide the network topology.
3. Connect the input and Ground1 with the signal generator (Red with Input and Green with Ground1).
4. Now Connect the probe 1(Channel 1) of the oscilloscope with input and Ground(Red with Input and
Green with Ground1).
5. After that, connect the output side with probe 2 (Channel 2) of the oscilloscope, (Red with Input and
Green with Ground1).
6. Start taking the readings from 10Hz, and observe the output keeping in mind that the Channel 1
output should always be 10V peak to peak, if the waveforms are out of resolution then press Autoset,
it will take care of the signals.
7. Its advised to take a note of all the readings in an Microsoft Excel sheet as its easy to find the cut off
frequency.
8. Slowly increase the frequency till 1MHz in increments of 50 Hz and take consequent readings.
9. Take the print of the waveforms on the oscilloscope where there is sudden increments or decrement of
voltage.
10. Calculate the Gain of all the frequency by
Page 3 of 21
Gain(dB) = 20 [log10
V out
]
V in
11. Tabulate the whole data in an excel sheet and plot a graph of Frequency(Hz) versus Gain(dB).
12. From the obtained Graph, find the Maximum Peak of the signal and calculate the cut off frequency by
just getting difference of 3 dB from the peak of the plotted graph.
13. Data in excel sheet can be imported in Matlab also and a graph can be plotted as its more accurate.
14. Identify the topology by the graph and the readings taken from step 1.
15. Find out the value of individual Resistance and Capacitance value.
16. Simulate the Circuit in Tina with the given values and verify the cut off frequency.
17. Practically and Simulated values should be very close.
Figure 6: Filter B
1. Filter B is taken and the corresponding measurements are made with multimeter:
(a) Input with respect to Ground1 readings are taken.
(b) Output with respect to Ground2 readings are taken.
(c) Ground1 with respect to Ground2 readings are taken.
(d) Input with respect to Output readings are taken.
2. Repeat Steps 2 to 14 for filter B as in procedure for Filter A.

As there is no capacitance of such value, so a suitable and nearest value is substituted[6].
C = 0.22uF
6. Draw the circuit diagram in TINA, simulate and verify the result.

1. Identify the Topology
(a) Input with respect to Ground1 = 151.
(b) Output with respect to Ground2 = 126.
(c) Ground1 with respect to Ground2 = 0.

As there is no capacitance of such value, so a suitable and nearest value is substituted[6].
C = 0.47uF
4. Draw the circuit diagram in TINA, simulate and verify the result.
FILTER AB
1. Both the filters are cascaded together.
2. There are no calculations involved in this section as all the filter components are already calculated
and simulated.
3. Simulated and Theoretical values are compared.

1. Stray Capacitance comes into picture, which affects the normal functioning of the component,at
High frequency its more.
2. Resistances have tolerance values which varies with respect to time.
3. So the best way to compensate it is, either add internal resistance, or take standard values of
capacitor and resistor.

COMPENSATION
All the resistances and capacitances are calculated, the theoretical values are R3 = 111.64
R2 = 76
R1 = 91
Resistances R1 ,R2 and R3 are standard values, so we compensate it by standard values[7].
Capacitance value is 230.133 nF, we see a standard value[6], so we get 0.22 uF.
Theoretical Cut off frequency = 38 KHz
Practical Cut off frequency = 38.29 KHz
There is an error of 290 Hz, which happens mainly due to
1. At High frequency,Stray Capacitance plays its role, which affects the normal functioning of the
component.
2. Resistances have tolerance values which varies with respect to time.
3. So the best way to compensate it is, either add internal resistance, or take standard values of
capacitor and resistor.

FILTER AB ( 08 )
There are no calculations involved for components(Filter AB), as cut off frequencies for both Low Pass and
High Pass are already found out. Just a highest peak is found out and then 3dB low on both side of the
peaks, Higher cut off and Lower cut off are found out.
From the output graphs, it can be concluded that its a Low Attenuated Band Pass Filter

Practical Lower Cut off frequency = 49.29 KHz
There is an error of 290 Hz in all the cut off frequencies, which happens mainly due to.

CONCLUSION
Filter A ie. High Pass Filter and Filter B ie. Low Pass Filter were tested efficiently, the theoretical and
practical cut off frequency were found out, which were compensated effectively by taking standard values of
components in TINA. Filters in cascaded form showed characteristics of a Low Attenuated Band Pass Filter,
whose lower and higher cut off frequency were found out. Characteristics and Frequency response of all the
filters were obtained and analyzed accurately in laboratory conditions.
