OBJECTIVE
A filter is a frequency sensitive circuit. It passes some frequencies, but blocks or attenuates
others. There are different types of active filter namely
i) Low pass filter
ii) High pass filter
iii) Band-pass filter
iv) Band stop or band-reject filter
In this experiment you will build the low pass and the high pass filters and plot a response
curve for each type.
EQUIPMENTS

Potentiometer (1 k) 1 piece
Capacitor 0.0022 F 3 pieces

Signal Generator 1 unit
Chords and wire
A lowpass filter is a circuit that has a constant output voltage from dc upto a cutoff
frequency. As the frequency increases above that frequency, the output is attenuated. The
two resistors R5 & R6 and the capacitors C5 & C6 form the passive network for the
lowpass filter. At low frequencies, the capacitor is almost open. Thus the signal applied at
the non-inverting input of the op-amp is very strong. However, at high frequencies, X C
decreases and attenuates the signal.

PROCEDURE
A simple active high pass filter is shown in figure-2. C 7, R9, C8, R8 now forms a high pass
filter. At low frequencies, the XC of the capacitor is high. Thus the signal applied at the non-
inverting input of the op-amp is very weak. However, at high frequencies, X C decreases and
allows more signal to reach the op-amp.
