PART1R, L, C Circuit

Experiment 20 :LC Filter

Theory

Inductor(L) and capacitor(C) have characteristics as below for DC and AC in normal state. In DC, L is shorted and C is opened. On the contrary, in AC, L is opened and C is shorted. Above is an extreme example but the filter circuit can be realized using this characteristics. Below are the voltage change by the circuit and frequency of LPF(Low Pass Filter), HPF(High Pass Filter), BPF(Band Pass Filter) using capacitor and inductor.

A. Low Pass Filter

In fig.1-34(a), the relationship between vi and v0 is as below.

   v_o over v_i = {1 over {j omega C}} over {R + 1over {j omega _0 C}} = 1 over {1 + j omega CR} =  K_L

In the formula above, if ω, that is, f increases and gets bigger than constant value fc, v0/vi becomes smaller and smaller and becomes near to "0", as in fig.(b). Therefore, from the relationship of v0=Kvi, it can be found that as the frequency of vi becomes bigger than fc, v0 gets near to "0", and only low frequency of vi is expressed at v0. Like this, the circuit in fig.(a) functions as low pass filter(LPF) which passes low frequency only.

B. High Pass Filter

Fig.1-35(a) is a high pass filter(HPF) circuit using R and L, and here, the relationship between vi and v0 is as below.

  v_o over v_i = {j omega L} over {R + j omega L} = {j omega  L over R} over {1 + j omega  L over R} = K_H~

In the formula above, if ω, that is, f decreases and gets smaller than constant value fc, v0/vi becomes smaller and smaller and becomes near to "0", as in fig.(b). Therefore, from the relationship of v0=Kvi, it can be found that as the frequency of vi becomes smaller than fc, v0 gets near to "0", and only high frequency of vi is expressed at v0. Using this characteristic, the circuit in fig.(a) functions as high pass filter(HPF).

C. Band Pass Filter

Fig.1-36(a) is a band pass filter(BPF) circuit, and here, the relationship between vi and v0 is as below.

   v_o over v_i = {{j omega L 1 over {j omega C}} over {j omega L + 1 over {j omega C}}} over {R+  {{j omega L 1 over {j omega C} } over {j omega L + 1over {j omega C}}}} = {{j omega L} over {1- omega ^2 LC}} over {R + {j omega L} over {1 - omega ^2 LC}}  =   {j omega L} over {R(1- omega ^2 LC) + j omega L} = K_B}

In the formula above, if ω, that is, f increases and gets bigger than constant value f1, v0/vi becomes bigger and bigger, and if it becomes bigger than f2, v0/vi becomes smaller and smaller again and becomes near to "0", as in fig.(b). Therefore, the frequency of vi which is bigger than f1 and smaller than f2 is expressed at v0. Using this characteristic, the circuit in fig.(a) functions as band pass filter(BPF).
