Lab #8: Frequency Response
Learning Objectives
After completing this lab, students should be able to
• Explain the definition of the frequency response of a circuit.
• Experimentally determine a circuit’s frequency response
• Present a circuit’s frequency response data using a Bode plot.
Experiment 1:
In this experiment, we will determine the voltage gain of this amplifier and its maximum output power to the speaker.
1.
First, we connected the output of the function generator to the input of the R-CH amplifier. The red wire is the input to the R-CH amplifier.
2. Then, connect scope probe 1 to the input of the amplifier and probe 2 to the output of the amplifier.
Figure 1 Amplifier setup.
2.
Turn the volume control of the amplifier to the maximum. Set the function generator frequency to 1kHz and the peak-to-peak output amplitude to100mV.

Explanation: I can't entirely agree with the claim. The actual power calculated based on the obtained data is only 0.94W, which indicates that the amplifier may not be able to deliver the claimed maximum power.
Experiment 2 (Frequency Response):
In this experiment, we will determine the frequency response of the amplifier. The scope and function generator connections remain the same as in Experiment 1 above.
1.
First, set the function generator frequency to 1kHz and peak-to-peak amplitude to 100mV. Adjust the scope so that both input and output signals are stable, and the gain and the phase shift can be read out from the scope screen as shown in Figure 1.

To measure phase shift, first, we measured the time difference ∆T between the two signals where they cross the reference line and are either both rising or both falling (see Figure 5). Next measure the cycle time of the signal, T.

Comparing the data from the table, we can see that the bandwidth of this amplifier starts from 120Hz to 40kHz. Based on the data, I disagree with the manufacturer of this amplifier claims that this amplifier's bandwidth is from 60Hz to 20kHz.

First, we set the function generator's output amplitude to 100mV and set the function generator's sweep function parameters to the following values:
Starting frequency = 10Hz Stop frequency = 1MHz.
Sweep time = 1 second. Sweep Mode = Log.
