PROCEDURES
1. Draw an RC Lowpass filter.

Where C = 10nF and R = 10k.

2. Make a Piecewise linear function for the input voltage
wherein it starts at 0V at 0s and 1V at 1ns.
3. Make a transient simulation command in the time
domain up to 2ms.
4. Determine the graph of the input and output voltage.
5. Extend the PWL function to include 1V at 1ms and 0V
and 1.00001ms
6. Again, determine the input and output.
Task 1.
Apply at the input of the LPF (R = 10kW, C = 10nF) a
Dirac impulse with a peak value of Vampl = 1 Megavolt.
Start with a delay time of 1 ms at an amplitude of 0V.
Then the pulse rises to 1Megavolt within 1 Nanosecond,
stays on this value for 1 Microsecond and decreases to
0V within 1Nanosecond.
So we get a pulse area of 1 Megavolt x 1Microsecond
= 1Voltsecond
Simulate the impulse response for a stop time of
2ms.
Task 2.
Reduce the pulse amplitude to 100 Kilovolt but use
a pulse length of 10 Microseconds to get again a pulse
area of 1 Voltsecond. Simulate and compare the result
with task 1.
7. Determine the corner frequency through f =
1/(2pi*RC).
8. Change the source to a sinewave function an
amplitude of 1V and the computed corner frequency.
9. Simulate.
10. Change the source to a square wave. With Von
of 1V, a Trise and Tfall of 1n, a Ton of 295.6us and
Tperiod of 591.3us.
11. Change the transition period to 4ms.
12. Simulate
13. Change the source to a triangle wave. With a Von
of 1V, Trise and Tfall of 295.6u, Ton of 1n, and
Tperiod of 591.3u.
14. Simulate.
15. Change the source to a sine wave. With an
amplitude of 1V, a tdelay and Theta of 295.6u, a Ph
of 1n and Ncycles 591.3u. Also change the AC
amplitude to 1 and AC phase of 0. Note: Untick the
“make this information visible on schematic”.
16. Change the simulation command to AC analysis.
Type of sweep is decade having 101 points per
decade with a frequency range from 1 to 10k.
17. Simulate.

INTERPRETATION
This laboratory activity was about
understanding the relationship of the
Input source and Output source in a Low
Pass Filter. The Low pass filter circuit is
simply made of a 10Kilo-ohms resistor
and 10nano-Farad capacitor and is
demonstrated using LTSpiceXVII Analog
program. The task of this experiment is for
us to observe the output by having
different input source such as Sine
waves, Triangular wave and square
waves.
To begin, the first task is having a
piecewise Linear function as the input
source value and simulating it, in this way
we could observe the Input and output
waveforms. We have a Piecewise Linear
function of
Then,
