Assignment:
Question 1. Show that gain rolls-off at -6 dB/octave for a passive LP filter.
Question 2. (a) Write down the expression for the frequency-dependent open-loop gain of an operational amplifier. Sketch the magnitude of the open-loop gain of an operational amplifier as a function of frequency. Explain what is meant by a `single-lag' response of an op-amp.
(b) Using the example of a simple RC high-pass filter circuit, show how the inclusion of a coupling capacitor will limit the low frequency of any amplifier circuit.
(c) Derive the expression for the high-frequency closed-loop gain of a basic non-inverting amplifier (the feedback equation). Sketch the circuit of the amplifier to illustrate your derivation. What is the feedback fraction β for this circuit?
