Pulse Sharpener

The goal of this section is to demonstrate how well the circuit below can sharpen an input pulse

TF EIM Lab6a.png

1.) The first step is to create an input pulse which is rounded, similar to the output of the integrator circuit when RC = 10 [math]\tau[/math]. You can do this using a capacitor shorted across the output of the pulse generator. This will essential be coupled to the input impedance of the pulse generator and form a low pass circuit.

As a result the input voltage is given as

[math]V_{in} = V_0 \left ( 1 - e^{-t/\tau}\right )[/math]

where

[math]\tau=R_{out} C_{out}[/math]
[math]R_{out}[/math] = impedance of the function generator at output which produces V_{in}
[math]C_{out}[/math] = capacitor shorting the function generator output to ground (not shown in the above picture)
[math]e^{-t/\tau} = e^{-1} = =0.36788[/math]


[math]C_{out} = 1.210 \pm 0.005 \times 10^{-6} F[/math]

I measure the times constant by looking how long it take the 2 Volt pulse to rise to (1-e^{-1}) =1.26 V

[math]\tau = 60 \times 10^{-6}[/math]
[math]R = \tau/C = 60 \times 10^{-6} s/ 1.210 \times 10^{-6} F =49.6 \Omega[/math]

A second measurement:

[math]\tau = 70 \times 10^{-6}[/math]
[math]R = \tau/C = 70 \times 10^{-6} s/ 1.210 \times 10^{-6} F =57.9 \Omega[/math]

I would say the input impedance of the BK precision function generator is about 50 [math]\Omega[/math].

2.) The output should be given by

[math]V_{out} = V_0^{\prime} \left ( 1 - e^{-t/\tau^{\prime}}\right )[/math]

where

[math]\tau^{\prime} = \left ( \frac{R_1 R}{R_1+ R}\right ) C_1[/math]

3.) Make measurements of the rise time [math]\tau[/math] and [math]\tau^{\prime}[/math]. The rise time is defined as the time it take the pulse to go from 10% of its max value to 90% of its max value.( 5 pnts.)

4.) Compare the measurement of [math]\tau^{\prime}[/math] to what you expected based on your measured values of [math]C_1[/math], [math]R_1[/math] and[math] R[/math].( 15 pnts.)

Questions

1.) Qualitativly, why is [math]\tau^{\prime} \lt \tau[/math]?( 10 pnts.)

[math]\tau^{\prime} = \left ( \frac{R_1 R}{R_1+ R}\right ) C_1 = \left ( \frac{R_1 }{R_1+ R}\right )\tau[/math]

The circuit is a filter that passes high frequency changes in V but attenating low frequency. Or in other words the power gets pushed intot he high frequncy band.

2.) How is [math]V_{out}[/math] worse than [math]V_{in}[/math]( 10 pnts.)

[math]V_{out} = V_0^{\prime} \left ( 1 - e^{-t/\tau^{\prime}}\right ) = \left ( \frac{R_1 }{R_1+ R}\right ) V_0\left ( 1 - e^{-t/\tau^{\prime}}\right )[/math]
