Coupling and Filter Circuits
*
Filter – a device that removes or “filters” or attenuates unwanted
signals, and keeps (and sometimes magnifies) the desired
frequencies
Attenuation – opposite of gain and magnification. To shrink or remove.
In order to know how something is magnified or
attenuated, we need to understand the decibel.
I need a volunteer from the audience!
On the white board, please graph the point:
(10, 1) (10, 10) (10, ?)
In order to shrink down the scale of the graph to fit all the
points on one graph, we can use the log scale

Using your calculators, what is log(10)?
log(100)?
log(1000)?
log(10,000)?
log(100,000)?
This is how it is possible to shrink very
large numbers down to fit on one scale

Calculate the following in your head:
Log(1M)
Log(1G)
Log(1)
Log(.1)

-1
Log(.001) -3
Log(1n) -9
It turns out that the exponents for our
prefixes is the log of that number.
Log of a number represents how many
zeros are in that number. So Log 1 million
is 6 because there are 6 zeros in 1 million
If Log(100) = 2 and Log(1000) = 3, what is Log(550)?
(since 550 is half way between the two)
Log(550) = 2.74 [The log scale is not linear]
Calculate the following using your calculator:
2.3
Log(200)
3.94
Log(8742)
4.25
Log(17782)
Log(500,000) 5.7
What number would result in a log of 2.5?
This is called the “antilog.”
The opposite of the log function is the antilog.
The opposite log(x) is 10x.
ie: Solve for V
2.5 = log(v)
102.5 = 10log(v)
102.5 = v
316 = v
Using your calculator:
The log of what number gives 4?
The log of what number gives 5?
10,000
100,000
The log of what number gives 4.5? 104.5 = 31,623
The log of what number gives 2.1? 102.1 = 125.9
The log of what number gives 0?
100 = 1
The log of what number gives -3? 10-3 = .001
The log of what number gives -1.5? 10-1.5 = .0316
The units of the log function are sometimes
referred to as “Bels”

However, in electronics the unit of gain is
the deciBel (decibel) [dB].
We can convert Bels to decibels by
multiplying by 10.
What is bigger, a Bel or a deciBel?
“deci” stands for 1 tenth of a Bel
This is similar to how “milli” stands for 1
thousandth

If there is a gain or magnification in a
circuit, the dB is positive
If there is neither gain nor loss, this is
called “Unity gain” and the dB is 0.
If there is a loss or attenuation in a
circuit, the dB is negative
What is the decibel level of my clap?
This question only makes sense if we are comparing it to
something else.
The thing we are comparing sound to is the smallest
audible sound possible: 1pW/m2
If the sound of my clap was 1mW/m2 then what level dB
are you hearing when I clap?

The dB level for sound is always compared to or in
reference to 1pW

What do you think is louder, a blue whale’s mating call or
the sound of a 747 jet at max power cruising speed?
747 jet is 140dB (100W)
Blue Whale is 188dB (6.3MW)
The human ear detects every 10dB gain to sound twice as loud.
Since the blue whale is about 50dB louder than the jet
engine, it sounds 2x2x2x2x2 = 32 times louder.
The loudest possible sound that can be made is 194dB within
the atmosphere of earth. (This is due to atmospheric pressures)

1pW is the reference for sound power when calculating dB
Another reference in electronics is the dBm which
represents the power level relative to 1mW. (If you notice
on the VOM, the was a dB scale which was referencing this
dBm level. You will you this in the communications class

Notice, this overall gain is the same gain as just adding up all the
individual dB gains along the way.
Each individual stage gas a dB gain of 3
So far we have talked about the gain equation when using
power. It turns out if voltage is the unit being measured
for gain the equation is slightly different:
This should make sense because (for you math people):

Coupling - the association of two circuits or systems in
such a way that power may be transferred from one to the
other; a linkage of circuits
As frequency changes on resistive circuit, nothing happens to output
What happens to the output as frequency goes up in the other 2 circuits
Note to instructor:
INTRODUCE THIS SECTION DRAW 5 RC LOW PASS FILTERS ON THE BOARD WHERE
THE ONLY THING CHANGING IS THE FREQUENCY. FIND Vc FOR EACH CIRCUIT
AND AFTERWARDS GRAPH VOLTAGE VS. FREQUENCY.
Vs = 1000V, R = 15915Ohm, C = 10nF F=10Hz, 100Hz, 1kHz 10kHz, 100kHz
HPF
Filters are used to pass or block a specific range of
frequencies. (Voltage or current doesn’t get through at those
specific frequencies)
There are 4 main types of filters:
- High Pass Filter (HPF)
- Low Pass Filter (LPF)
- Band Pass Filter (BPF)
- Band Stop Filter (BSF)

Recall that the -3dB point is the point where the output gets half of the input power.
For the circuit below, when R and XC are the same size, the power across R is half
the input power. Thus the cutoff frequency is as follows:

Draw on board what this means graphically
Not only is there an attenuation curve but there is a phase
shift curve at the output at varying frequencies.
[Show Multisim example of how varying the frequency
varies the phase angle of the circuit (VR angle)]
