What has been lacking in the literature is some information in a form that will enable the man with only the most elementary knowledge of mathematics to produce his own design and make it work. With the objective of filling in this gap, we have written various articles that have appeared in Radio-Electronics magazine. And the correspondence we have received assures us that we have achieved our objective in this. In fact, many people find the only complaint is the inconvenience of having numerous copies of Radio-Electronics strewn about the place for easy reference! For this reason the Gernsback Library undertook the assembly of this material into book form. But a number of separate maga- zine articles do not too readily go together to make the best book, just like that. The result is apt to be rather a mass of bits and pieces. So the authors' help was called upon, and the original articles have been considerably edited and rewritten. In several places additional material has been added, in the interest of over- all clarity, and to fill in some gaps that naturally result from pre- paring a book in this way. But now that we have finished the work we feel confident in offering it to the reader as a real primer on designing the best in audio. Often people ask where we get the ideas for articles. We feel this introduction is a good opportunity to give the answer to this ques- tion, as credit to whom credit is due. Practically all the subjects for our articles arise from questions various people have asked, and the discussions that have followed. To be able to explain a subject successfully, it is necessary not only to understand it prop- erly one's self, but also to understand the obstacles that make it difficult for others to grasp. It is odd how obstacles in the attain- ment of knowledge seem insurmountable as we approach them, but having passed them, they seem to vanish, and we find it diffi- cult to realize the obstacle ever existed. This is why questions from people seeking knowledge, and the discussions that ensue, are invaluable in providing material for this kind of presentation. Knowing that many look in the introduction of a book to find out for whom it is written, we should answer that. While we have avoided using expressions that would put it over the heads of the many enthusiasts who do not possess very much theoretical knowl- edge, we are also confident that much of its contents will prove helpful to many who have more advanced training, but who have failed to visualize adequately some of the problems they en- counter, largely due to the vagueness of the "classical" approach. As a "primer" to read, it will give a sound basic knowledge of the subject, after which it will serve for years as an invaluable refer- ence book. We make no apology for such a claim — we use our own writings for reference. It's so much easier than trying to memorize it all! Norman H. Crowhurst George Fletcher Cooper feedback effects Boil water and butter together. Add flavor. Cook till it forms a ball. Season, and beat in an egg. This is not a book on cookery, nor is it one of those with a cook- book approach on how to build the perfect amplifier. "Take a ripe output transformer, about four pounds," he says; "two large well- matched tubes and an assortment of smaller tubes, capacitors and resistors. Connect as shown. Add feedback to taste." The trouble is, that the amplifier described this way is never just what you want, and nothing in the book tells how you can alter it without ruining the performance completely. Consequently, when you or your employer needs an amplifier, it has to be designed from scratch. Amplifiers without feedback are no problem, but the ad- dition of a reasonable amount of feedback to an amplifier with more than two stages usually leads to instability unless the circuit is carefully designed. To begin with, why do we want to use negative feedback in am- plifiers at all? There are four reasons which assume different orders of importance, depending upon the function of the amplifier. If the amplifier is part of an a.c. voltmeter, the gain must be con- stant in spite of changes in supply voltages and aging of tubes. A voltmeter with a drift of 10% would be a thorough nuisance in any laboratory. After all, unless you are a magician, you must trust something. By using negative feedback, the overall gain can be made almost independent of the internal gain of the amplifier; once it is adjusted, the gain will be the same even if the tubes , are changed or the line voltage drops 5 % . If the gain is independ- ent of the plate supply voltage, ripple caused by inadequate filter- ing will not modulate the signal. This aspect is especially impor- tant for ordinary program amplifiers. The reasons for using feedback are also important in audio. By using negative feedback we can flatten the frequency response, and reduce the harmonic and intermodulation distortion. It can also be used to modify effective input or output impedances. Feedback

    Electrical Circuits Lab. 0903219 Series RC Circuit Phasor Diagram - Simple steps to draw phasor diagram of a series RC circuit without memorizing: * Start with the quantity (voltage or current) that is common for the resistor R and the capacitor C, which is here the source current I (because it passes through both R and C without being divided). Figure (1) Series RC circuit * Now we know that I and resistor voltage VR are in phase or have the same phase angle (there zero crossings are the same on the time axis) and VR is greater than I in magnitude. * Since I equal the capacitor current IC and we know that IC leads the capacitor voltage VC by 90 degrees, we will add VC on the phasor diagram as follows: * Now, the source voltage VS equals the vector summation of VR and VC: Figure (2) Series RC circuit Phasor Diagram Prepared by: Eng. Wiam Anabousi - Important notes on the phasor diagram of series RC circuit shown in figure (2): A- All the vectors are rotating in the same angular speed ω. B- This circuit acts as a capacitive circuit and I leads VS by a phase shift of Ө (which is the current angle if the source voltage is the reference signal). Ө ranges from 0o to 90o (0o < Ө <90o). If Ө=0o then this circuit becomes a resistive circuit and if Ө=90o then the circuit becomes a pure capacitive circuit. C- The phase shift between the source voltage and its current Ө is important and you have two ways to find its value: a- b- = - = - D- Using the phasor diagram, you can find all needed quantities in the circuit like all the voltages magnitude and phase and all the currents magnitude and phase.

  • Phasor Analysis of Circuits
    Phasor Analysis of Circuits Concepts Frequency-domain analysis of a circuit is useful in understanding how a single-frequency wave undergoes an amplitude change and phase shift upon passage through the circuit. The concept of impedance or reactance is central to frequency-domain analysis. For a resistor, the impedance is Z ω = R , a real quantity independent of frequency. For capacitors and R ( ) inductors, the impedances are Z ω = − i ωC and Z ω = iω L. In the complex plane C ( ) L ( ) these impedances are represented as the phasors shown below. Im ivL R Re -i/vC These phasors are useful because the voltage across each circuit element is related to the current through the equation V = I Z . For a series circuit where the same current flows through each element, the voltages across each element are proportional to the impedance across that element. Phasor Analysis of the RC Circuit R V V in Z in Vout R C V ZC out The behavior of this RC circuit can be analyzed by treating it as the voltage divider shown at right. The output voltage is then V Z −i ωC out = C = . V Z Z i C R in C + R − ω + The amplitude is then V −i 1 1 out = = = , V −i +ω RC 1+ iω ω 2 in c 1+ ω ω ( c ) 1 where we have defined the corner, or 3dB, frequency as 1 ω = . c RC The phasor picture is useful to determine the phase shift and also to verify low and high frequency behavior. The input voltage is across both the resistor and the capacitor, so it is equal to the vector sum of the resistor and capacitor voltages, while the output voltage is only the voltage across capacitor.

  • 5 RC Circuits
    Physics 212 Lab Lab 5 RC Circuits What You Need To Know: The Physics In the previous two labs you’ve dealt strictly with resistors. In today’s lab you’ll be using a new circuit element called a capacitor. A capacitor consists of two small metal plates that are separated by a small distance. This is evident in a capacitor’s circuit diagram symbol, see Figure 1. When a capacitor is hooked up to a circuit, charges will accumulate on the plates. Positive charge will accumulate on one plate and negative will accumulate on the other. The amount of charge that can accumulate is partially dependent upon the capacitor’s capacitance, C. With a charge distribution like this (i.e. plates of charge), a uniform electric field will be created between the plates. [You may remember this situation from the Equipotential Surfaces lab. In the lab, you had set-ups for two point-charges and two lines of charge. The latter set-up represents a capacitor.] A main function of a capacitor is to store energy. It stores its energy in the electric field between the plates. Battery Capacitor (with R charges shown) C FIGURE 1 - Battery/Capacitor FIGURE 2 - RC Circuit If you hook up a battery to a capacitor, like in Figure 1, positive charge will accumulate on the side that matches to the positive side of the battery and vice versa. When the capacitor is fully charged, the voltage across the capacitor will be equal to the voltage across the battery. You know this to be true because Kirchhoff’s Loop Law must always be true.

In this third part we will discuss about low-pass, high-pass and notch filters. The approach will be without mathematics, the goal will be to introduce readers to a physical knowledge of filters. People interested in a mathematical analysis will find in the appendix some books on the topic.

A look at fig.1 will be clarifying. Fig.3 It is clear that the sharpness of the response increase as the order of the filter increase. The ripple near the edge of the cutoff moves from Fig 1 monotonic in 3 rd order to ringing of about 1.7 dB for the 9 th order. This due to the mismatch of the The two filter configurations, at T and π are various sections that are connected to a 50 Ω displayed, all the reactance are 50 Ω and the impedance at the edges of the filter and filter cells are all equal.

    a b FIG. 1-TWO LOWPASS FILTERS. Even though the filters use different components, they perform in a similiar fashion. MANNlE HOROWITZ Because almost every analog circuit contains some filters, understandinghow to work with them is important. Here we'll discuss the basics of both active and passive types. THE MAIN PURPOSE OF AN ANALOG FILTER In addition to bandpass and band- age (because inductors can be expensive circuit is to either pass or reject signals rejection filters, circuits can be designed and hard to find); they are generally easier based on their frequency. There are many to only pass frequencies that are either to tune; they can provide gain (and thus types of frequency-selective filter cir- above or below a certain cutoff frequency. they do not necessarily have any insertion cuits; their action can usually be de- If the circuit passes only frequencies that loss); they have a high input impedance, termined from their names.

Why isn’t the time constant defined to be the time it takes the capacitor to become fully charged or discharged? 4. Explain conceptually why the time constant is larger for increased resistance. 5. What does an oscilloscope measure? 6. Why can’t we use a multimeter to measure the voltage in the second half of this lab? 7.

(V, t (0-300s in 20s intervals, 360, and 420s)) Introduction The goal in this lab is to observe the time-varying voltages in several simple circuits involving a capacitor and resistor. In the first part, you will use very simple tools to measure the voltage as a function of time: a multimeter and a stopwatch. Your lab write-up will deal primarily with data taken in this part. In the second part of the lab, you will use an oscilloscope, a much more sophisticated and powerful laboratory instrument, to observe time behavior of an RC circuit on a much faster timescale. Your observations in this part will be mostly qualitative, although you will be asked to make several rough measurements using the oscilloscope. Part 1. Capacitor Discharging Through a Resistor You will measure the voltage across a capacitor as a function of time as the capacitor discharges through a resistor.

  • Inductors and Capacitors in AC Circuits
    Inductors and Capacitors in AC Circuits IMPORTANT NOTE: A USB flash drive is needed for the first section of this lab. Make sure to bring one with you! Introduction The goal of this lab is to look at the behaviour of inductors and capacitors - two circuit components which may be new to you. In AC circuits currents vary in time, therefore we have to consider variations in the energy stored in electric and magnetic fields of capacitors and inductors, respectively. You are already familiar with resistors, where the voltage-current relation is given by Ohm's law: VR(t) = RI(t); (1) In an inductor, the voltage is proportional to the rate of change of the current. You may recall the example of a coil of wire, where changing the current changes the magnetic flux, creating a voltage in the opposite direction (Lenz's law). A capacitor is a component where a charge difference builds up across the component. A simple example of this is a pair of parallel plates separated by a small distance, with a charge difference between them. The potential difference between the plates depends on the charge difference Q, which can also be written as the integral over time of the current flowing into/out of the capacitor. Inductors and capacitors are characterized by their inductance L and capacitance C respectively, with the voltage difference across them given by dI(t) V (t) = L ; (2) L dt Z t Q(t) 1 0 0 VC (t) = = I(t )dt (3) C C 0 1 Transient Behaviour In this first section, we'll look at how circuits with these components behave when an applied DC voltage is switched from one value to another.

Printed in Malaysia A CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF REFERENCES ON SWITCHED CAPACITOR NETWORKS AND TECHNIQUES FOR THE PERIOD 19 1-1992 A.K. SINGH Electronics Lab., Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Delhi Institute of Technology, Kashmere Gate, Delhi 110006, India. (Received November 16, 1993; in final form December 15, 1993) A chronological list of 440 references on switched capacitor (SC) networks from 1939 to May 1981 was published in this Journal by J. Vandewalle. In this communication, we present a compilation of 1357 references covering the period from May 1981-1992 (along with a supplementary list of 43 missing references for the period before May 1981). The present compilation and the earlier one by Vandewalle put together, thus, constitute an exhaustive bibliography of 1797 references on SC-networks and tech- niques till 1992. I. INTRODUCTION The importance of SC-networks in the area of instrumentation and communication is well established. Because of their suitability to VLSI implementation, along with digital networks on the same chip and their low cost coupled with accuracy, SC- networks have greatly enhanced their applicability in the electronics world. Enor- mous volumes of literature on the SC-techniques for different applications is now available. Many design procedures including those based upon immittance simu- lation and wave concepts have been evolved. Application of SC-networks in the design of FIR and IIR filters and neural networks have also been reported.
