RC High-pass filter

1-50 kHz filter (20 pnts)

1. Design a high-pass RC filter with a break point between 1-50 kHz. The break point is the frequency at which the filter's attenuation of the AC signal goes to 0. For a High pass filter, AC signals with a frequency below the 1-50 kHz range will be attenuated (not passed).
2. Now construct the circuit using a non-polar capacitor.
3. use a sinusoidal variable frequency oscillator to provide an input voltage to your filter.
4. Measure the input and output voltages for at least 8 different frequencies which span the frequency range from 1 Hz to 1 MHz.
5. Graph the $\log \left(\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} \right)$ -vs- $\log (\nu)$

phase shift (10 pnts)

1. measure the phase shift between $V_{in}$ and $V_{out}$

Questions

1. compare the theoretical and experimentally measured break frequencies. (5 pnts)
2. Calculate and expression for $\frac{V_{out}}{ V_{in}}$ as a function of $\nu$, $R$, and $C$.(5 pnts)
3. Compare the theoretical and experimental value for the phase shift $\theta$. (5 pnts)
4. Sketch the phasor diagram for $V_{in}$,$V_{out}$, $V_{R}$, and $V_{C}$. Put the current $i$ along the real voltage axis. (30 pnts)
5. what is the phase shift $\theta$ for a DC input and a very-high frequency input?(5 pnts)
6. calculate and expression for the phase shift $\theta$ as a function of $\nu$, $R$, $C$ and graph $\theta$ -vs $\nu$. (20 pnts)
