inductor/capacitor ratio broadens the entire curve. The impedance magnitude at the dip does not change, and thus the current at f0 does not change.

For instance, using curve A, Qcoil at 100 kHz is approximately 90. If XL is 450 Ω at this frequency, then Rcoil would be 450 Ω/90, or 5 Ω. Effectively, Qcoil sets the ceiling for the Q of the series resonant circuit, Qseries. That is, the system Q can never be higher than the coil Q. To do so would require less resista...

G '= −10 dB −10dB −10dB −10 dB G '= −40dB Remember, if an increase in signal is produced, the result will be a positive dB value. A decrease in signal will always result in a negative dB value. A signal that is unchanged indicates a gain of unity, or 0 dB. To convert from dB to ordinary form, just invert the steps; tha...

G=2×10×10 G=200 While the approximation technique appears to be slower than the calculator, practice will show otherwise. Being able to quickly estimate dB values can prove to be a very handy skill in the electronics field. This is particularly true in larger, multi-stage designs. Example 10.4 A three-stage amplifier h...

Note that current gain may be treated in the same manner as voltage gain (although this is less commonly done in practice). Example 10.5 A circuit has an output signal of 2 V for an input of 50 mV. What is A'v? First find the ordinary gain. Av= 2 0.05 =40 Now convert to dB form. A'v=20 log10 40 A'v=20×1.602 A'v=32.04dB...

Signal Representation in dBW and dBV Signal Representation in dBW and dBV As you can see from the preceding section, it is possible to spend considerable time converting between decibel gains and ordinary voltages and powers. Because the decibel form does offer advantages for gain measurement, it would make sense to us...

P '=10 log10 P 1Watt P'=10 log10 200mW 1 mW P'=23 dBm 200 mW, −7 dBW, and 23 dBm are three ways of saying the same thing. Note that the dBW and dBm values are 30 dB apart.

V '=20log10 V reference V '=20log10 2 V 1V V '= 6.02dB When both circuit gains and signal levels are specified in decibel form, analysis can be very quick.

Note that the units are dB and not dBW. This is very important! Saying that the gain is “so many” dBW is the same as saying the gain is “so many” watts. Obviously, gains are “pure” numbers and do not carry units such as watts or volts. The usage of a dB-based system is shown graphically in Figure 10.3. Note how the sta...

Lead Network Gain Response Lead Network Gain Response Reduction in low frequency gain is caused by lead networks. A generic lead network is shown in Figure 10.5.

To express Av in dB, substitute equation 10.11 into equation 10.5. A'v=20 log10 1 √ 1+ f c 2 f 2 After simplification, the final result is: A'v=−10 log10(1+ f c 2 f 2) (10.12) Where fc is the critical frequency, f is the frequency of interest, A'v is the decibel gain at the frequency of interest. Example 10.13 A circui...

V out V i n = R R−j X c V out V i n = R∠0 √R 2+X c 2∠−arctan X c R The phase portion of this is, θ=arctan X c R By using equation 10.6, this simplifies to, θ=arctan f c f (10.13) Where fc is the critical frequency, f is the frequency of interest, θ is the phase angle at the frequency of interest.

Note that this equation is almost the same as Equation 10.12. The only difference is that f and fc have been transposed. In a similar vein, we may examine the phase response. At very low frequencies, the circuit is basically capacitive. Because the output is taken across C, Vout will be in phase with Vin. At very high ...

Example 10.15 A medical ultra sound transducer feeds a lag network with an upper break frequency of 150 kHz. What are the gain and phase values at 1.6 MHz?

Because this circuit involved the use of a single lag network, this is exactly what you would expect. Rise Time versus Bandwidth Rise Time versus Bandwidth For pulse-type signals, the “speed” of a circuit is often expressed in terms of its rise time.

Example 10.17 Draw the Bode gain plot for the following amplifier: A'v midband = 26 dB, one lead network critical at 200 Hz, one lag network critical at 10 kHz, and another lag network critical at 30 kHz. The dominant lag network is 10 kHz. There is only one lead network, so it’s dominant by default. • Draw a straight ...

There is one item that should be noted before we leave this section, and that is the concept of narrowing. Narrowing occurs when two or more networks share similar critical frequencies, and one of them is a dominant network. The result is that the true −3 dB breakpoints may be altered. Here is an extreme example. Assum...
