Exercise T14 

:
1) Find the transfer function between u and e write the expression of the
damping factor z and of the central (resonant) frequency f 0.

2) What kind of filter correspond to the transfer function :

{
lim H =1 '
ω→0 ⇒ I t s a low pass filter
lim H =0
ω →∞

3) We want an harmonic response with -3dB cut-off frequency not less than
20 kHz and no overshoot. Write the constraints on z and f 0

The best filter is for z= in this case the -3dB cut off is for f 0=20 kHz
√2

More generally no overshoot means z > and the constraint on f 0 is found
√2
in the following way:

1 1 1
|H ( x )|= = =
√( 1−x ) + ( 2 zx ) √1+ ( 4 z −2 ) x + x √ 1+( 4 z −2 ) X + X

with X=x =

To find the -3dB cut off frequency you must solve:

|H ( x )|=
√2
After some calculation it comes:
x=

√ √ 2
= −( 2 z −1 ) + ( 2 z −1 ) +1

If the minimum cut off frequency has to be 20 kHz the constraint on f 0 is:

5) For erms=0.4 mV and f=1kHz what is the input voltage of the pre amplifier:

Since f<<f0 u=e=0.4mV

Exercise T15 :
1) Write the transfer function between the woofer voltage and the input
« entrée » (means input in french). Specify the type of filter. Give the value
of the -3dB bandwidth. Draw the Bode diagrams gain and phase.
 Re e
u= =
Ljω+ R(1+ j LC ω ) (1+ j Lω + j 2 LC ω 2)

Low pass filter

2) Same questions as 1) but for the medium loudspeaker:

j LC ω
u=−e
Lω 2
1+ j + j LC ω 2
R

In the exercise session the phase aspect has not been treated to not
complicate the problem.
If you connect the loudspeaker + to – and – to + you change the phase of a
 factor: in consequence the phase diagrams of the two filters are identical!

High pass filter same z and same f 0 as in the former case.

3) Find the global impedance viewed from the input “entrée”:

1 1 1

1 1 1 R

3) Compute the global power transmitted to the loudspeaker if the input
voltage is 10V:

( 1+( LC ω2 )2 )
P ( ω ) =real ( )

≈ 12 W ∀ ω

Again not so simple !!
