Module by: Bijay_Kumar Sharma. E-mail the author

Summary: AE_Lecture4_PartD4 describes the time domain response of high pass filter and gives the method of determining lower -3dB frequency from 10% sag frequency.

Figure 15. The Square Wave Response or Time Domain Response of HPF.

In Figure 14, the square wave response as well as the step response of C-R High Pass Filter is shown.

The slope of the tangent drawn to the exponentially decaying curve at t=o is:

d(vR)/dt|t=0 = (1V/τ sec) ;

Two triangles shown are similar hence:

∆V/(T/2) = (1V/τ sec) ;

Or ∆V/1V = fractional sag = T/(2τ) ;

We have to adjust the frequency of the periodic square wave to achieve 10% sag;

Say the frequency of 10% sag is f*= 1/T where T is the period of repetition.

Therefore T=(2τ) = 0.1= (2πfL)/(2f*); since 1/τ = ωL = 2πfL.

Therefore fL = (0.1f*)/π

In figure 15, the square wave response is shown.

By inspection we find that

when prf >> fL then we have faithful reproduction of the square wave except that the dc component is blocked by the series capacitance;

when prf ~ fL then we have sag effect at the top and bottom of the square wave;

when prf << fL then we get the differentiation of the leading and lagging edge. Since the leading edge and lagging edge are positive step and negative step, we get positive impulse and negative impulse at the instants where step voltages had occurred.

Hence at frequencies much lower than the cutoff frequency of HPF, the filter behaves like a differentiator.

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
