Filters

This is lab 8 of 17 in the course

by Enable Education

In this lab, students will implement high pass and low pass filters, while learning about cut-off frequencies and stopband roll-off. Students will learn the differences between ideal and real-world filters, while implementing active and passive filters, as well as 1st and 2nd order filters. Students will identify the effect of a load on a passive filter.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After completing this lab, students will be able to:

Use the NI Automated Measurements Board to measure the effect of filters on a signal of a given frequency.
Use the NI Automated Measurements Board to measure the behavior of different filters in the frequency domain.
Compare the attenuation of 1^st and 2^nd order filters.
Identify the effect that a load has on a passive filter compared to an active filter.
