    ELEC 301 Mini Project 4

    Section: 101
    Due: Dec 9th, 2022
    Name Student Number Signature
    Aman Edward Nangia 43754290
    Part A: Active Filter
    Determining C and AM values
    We have the following criteria:
    ωc = 10kHz, R1+ R2 = 10kΩ = R, AM = 1 + R2/R1
    Knowing the cutoff Frequency we can solve for C. Then we can obtain the Butterworth
    Polynomial knowing that the poles must be 45 degrees apart on a circle in the S plane, to solve
    for AM. Then we can solve for R1 and R2
    C 1/( ωc×R) 1.6 nF
    Butterworth Polynomial s2 + √2s +1
    AM 3 − √2 1.6 V/V
    R2 R1+ R2 = 10kΩ, AM = 1 + R2/R1 3.75 kΩ
    R1 R1+ R2 = 10kΩ, AM = 1 + R2/R1 6.25 kΩ

    Using these we construct the circuit.

    Figure 1. UA471 Butterworth Filter


    Figure 2. Magnitude and Phase Plots

    Oscillations of 9.5 kHz are noticed once R2 is 6.7 kΩ and R1 is 3.3 kΩ. This gives a gain of
    about 3V/V. This makes sense as plugging this into the transfer function causes the coefficient of
    s1 to be 0, then solving for s results in a purely imaginary values: ±𝑗
    ( )

    Figure 3. Oscillations
    This occurs when Both poles of the transfer function lay on equal and opposite sides of the
    imaginary axis in the s plane.

    Part B: Phase Shift Oscillator


    Figure 4. Phase Shift Oscillator

    We find that a R29 value 29.2 kΩ the oscillations steady out around 80 seconds in the transient
    simulation. The following table yields the results of increasing and decreasing the R and C
    values:
    C 1 uF 0.5 uF 2 uF
    R 1 kΩ 0.5 kΩ 2 kΩ
    Frequency (Measured) 62.5 Hz 262 Hz 20 Hz
    Frequency (Calculated) 65 Hz 260 Hz 16.2 Hz

    To calculate frequency we use the following equation:

    f = 1/2π√6𝑅𝐶
    To explain the small deviation in calculated values may be due to inaccuracies in measurement.

    Part C: Feedback Amplifier


    Figure 5. Feedback Circuit from Cascaded Amplifiers
    We see this Feedback circuit has “shunt-shunt” topology. Which by definition is having a sampled
    output voltage control the input current.
    To obtain RB2 we simulate the circuit with varying values to find the one the produces the highest
    gain. We find this to be around 19.5 kΩ.
    1. DC Values, hfe, rπ and gm.
    We use the following equations to determine hfe, rπ and gm.
    hfe = IC/IB , gm =IC/VT , rπ = hfe/ gm
    Using the multimeter, we find the following values:
    VC VB VE IC IB IE hfe gm rπ
    Q1 1.9V 0.7V 0V 1.3mA 10.8uA 1.3mA 120 0.05 2.3 kΩ
    Q2 15V 1.9V 1.3V 2.2 mA 15.4 uA 2.2mA 142 0.09 1.6 kΩ

    2. Open Loop Frequency Response


    Setting Rf to a very high value we get the following amplitude plot:
    Figure 6. Amplitude Response
    We measure the following. We find Input and Output resistance by attaching a test source to the
    input and output respectively
    ωL3dB ωH3dB AM Rin Rout
    3.2 Hz 91 kHz 43 dB 2.61 kΩ 69.3 Ω
