Answer all questions:

[5] Q1 – Prove the following sensitivity identities:

5
a) Sx3x = 5
y y
b) S1⁄ = −Sx
x

[8] Q2 – Suppose that a circuit is characterized by the transfer function:

R1 C1 R 2 C2
H(s) =
R1 C1 R 2 C2 s 2 + R 2 C2 s + 1

a) Find the worst case percentage deviation in o and Q if the resistors may vary by 7%
and the capacitors by 6% of their nominal values.
b) If it is desired to limit both o deviations to within 3% and Q deviations to within
5%, find the maximum tolerances on the R1 and C1 assuming the maximum
tolerances on the R2=3% and on C2=5%.

[7] Q2 – The following circuit is a normalized Chebyshev lowpass filter with maximum pass
band ripple of 1 dB. Use the NLP filter to realize a BP filter with the same ripple
attenuation and a center frequency of 500 rad/sec and 3dB bandwidth of 50 rad/sec.
