Exercise 6.7 Does this filter something?

a)
b)


An answer:
The feedback loop gain contains only the opamp and a resistive divider; resistive dividers do not add any gain to the loop. Unity gain stable opamps are defined to be stable for any passive (attenuating) feedback network that provides zero phase shift, the limit being unity feedback.

So this circuit should be stable.

c)


An answer:

H(jω) = vout vin vout = v− + R3 ⋅ iR3 iR3 = v−− vin R2 A →∞⇒ v− = v+ v− = v+ = vin ⋅ 1 1 + jωR1C vout = vin ⋅ 1 1 + jωR1C ⋅ (1 + R3 R2) − vin ⋅R3 R2 H(jω) = (1 + R3 R2)( 1 1 + jωR1C) −R3 R2 = 2 1 + jωR1C − 1   ; when R2 = R3

d)


An answer:
Towards a standard form:

H(jω) = vo vi = 2 1 + jωR1C − 1 = 2 1 + jωR1C −1 + jωR1C 1 + jωR1C = 1 − jωR1C 1 + jωR1C

Or if you do not like the − jω term, you could rewrite into

H(jω) = 1 + (ωR1C)2 (1 + jωR1C)2

The Bode plot is shown below. From the relations above you can directly derive that the modulus of the gain is unity, and that the phase is between 0° and − 180°.
