Assignment Description
Part 1: Examine the op-amp active filter circuit The key Specifications:
- Design any two types of op-amp active filter (Low pass, high pass and band pass) circuit using simulation software.
- Use your own specification for filter design with appropriate justification.
- Examine the results obtained from the designed circuit and discuss the findings with appropriate explanation.
Deliverables:
- You are expected to design an op-amp active filter using simulation platform.
- Explanation of the design.
- Show all design steps in details and calculate all the required components value for the design.
- Compare the theoretical calculation and the simulation results.
- Observe all the waveform at both inputs and output points.
(50 marks)
Part 2: Design an Oscillator for Electronic Applications.
The key specification:
- Different oscillation frequency for each group.
- The oscillation frequency is targeted in between the range of 1 KHz to 10 KHz.
- You can use any oscillators for your design.
Deliverables:
- You are expected to design an oscillator using operational amplifier/BJT/FET with RC or LC feedback circuit for electronic applications.
- Explanation the design.
- Show all design steps in detail and calculate all the required components value for the design.
- Compute the expected oscillation frequency from an equation.
- Simulate the designed circuit using any simulation software.
- Compare the theoretical calculation and the simulation results.
- Observe the waveform at both inputs and output point and measure the peak to peak output voltage of the oscillator.
- Submit a copy of well written Technical Report for assessment.
