PROCEDURE
1. Prepare the materials needed in the experiment.
2. Read and follow the TIMS Model shown in Fig 2.
3. Set the frequency of the Input signal to 1 kHz and 3 kHz for the Tuneable LPF gain.
4. Connect the Channel 1 of the Oscilloscope at the output of Dual Analog Switch to
get the samples of the input waveform similar to the Fig.3.

TUNE VARIATION

Waveform
At maximum variation
with respect to Tune,
you can see that
theres no delay in the
waveform between
the input and the
sampled signal.

At Medium variation,
theres a certain delay
between the input and
the sampled signal.
The sampled signal
leads while the output
signal lags.

At minimum variation,
the two signal,(input
and sampled), reflects
each others
waveform.

GAIN VARIATION

Waveform
At maximum gain, the
gain of the two signals
is equal.

At medium gain, the


input signal has
smaller gain while the
gain of sampled signal
stays as is.

At minimum gain, the


sampled signal stays
as is while the input
signal gain is
approximately zero.

ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION


In this experiment, it is said that in a signal sampling rate, it should be at least twice the
maximum frequency responses. And this proves in the actual picture captured in the
laboratory. I noticed that at F=1kHz, the signal appears as an almost constant DC voltage. At
F=2kHz, the sample rate is twice the frequency of the signal. It now appears as almost nearer
for the original waveform
In conclusion, to accurately reconstruct the waveform, the sample rate must be greater than
twice the highest frequency component in the measured signal as you can see in the other
picture captured at F=3kHz,4kHz &5kHz. Thus, the most intuitive way to reconstruct signal is
the sampling rate having at least twice the maximum frequency. The higher, the better.
