Procedure

Connect the circuit components illustrated in Figure 3-1.

Calculate the resonant frequency of the band-stop circuit and note this value in Table 3-1.
Double-click the AC voltage source and enter the calculated resonant frequency.
Double-click the Oscilloscope to view its display. Set the time base to 10 ns/Div and Channel
1 to 500 mV/Div as indicated at the top of the display window.
Start the simulation and measure the frequency of oscillation at the output. Note the associated
amplitude in Table 3-1.
Refer to Table 3-1 and enter the AC Voltage Source frequency = each frequency listed and the
Amplitude = 1. Measure and note the associated amplitude at each frequency given. Calculate
the associated dB value using equation 3-4. You will have to run the simulator for each
measurement. Draw a sketch of amplitude versus frequency for your data. Comment on your
data.
Double-click the Bode Plotter and choose Magnitude, LOG, F = 0 dB, 1 GHz, I = -200 dB, 1
mHz.
Restart the simulation and estimate the bandwidth of the filter by dragging the red marker to
the 3dB points as indicated by the frequency and dB values shown on the lower right section
of the Bode Plotter. Verify that your sketch corresponds to the Bode Plotter display.

Analysis
This kind of filter passes all frequencies above and below a particular range set by the
component values. Stop band filters can be constructed using a low-pass and a high
pass filter. However, rather than the cascaded configuration used for the pass-band
filter, a parallel arrangement is required. A low-frequencyf1 can pass through the lowpass filter, and a higher-frequency f2 can use the parallel path.

V.

Conclusion
A band-stop filter works to screen out frequencies that are within a certain range,
giving easy passage only to frequencies outside of that range. Also known as bandelimination, band-reject, or notch filters. Band-stop filters can be made by placing a
low-pass filter in parallel with a high-pass filter. The smaller capacitors of a system
will have an important impact on the response of a system in the high-frequency range
and can be ignored for the low-frequency region. A wide band-stop filter using a lowpass filter, a high-pass filter and a summing amplifier is shown in figure. For a proper
band reject response, the low cut-off frequency fL of high-pass filter must be larger
than the high cut-off frequency fH of the low-pass filter. In addition, the passband gain
of both the highpass and low-pass sections must be equal.

Recommendation
Read the concept of the filters to gain more knowledge about it and analyze it where
can It be applied in reality.
