...Introduction: Are Electromagnetic Fields a Risk for Human Health? Power lines allow the transmission of electricity. These exist all over the world, but are more predominant in some places, depending on the energy consumption. Although they all work for the same purpose, there are different types of power lines systems, and some have higher voltages than the others. Electromagnetic fields are created with the conduction of electricity, “because of the movement and existence of the charges. During the 1970’s, an examination was made on childhood leukemia and the results found a possible relationship between an increase in the disease and exposure to electromagnetic fields. From that moment on, many other studies attempted to show a link between electromagnetic fields and other diseases, which has caused major concern in many people. While some studies claim that there is a link between the two, some others demand that there is not enough proof to categorize electromagnetic fields as dangerous to human health. Even though exposure to electromagnetic fields has been labeled as a “human carcinogen,” most experts claim that there is not enough proof to make this claim and most studies show no relationship between these diseases and exposure to EMFs. Perhaps, some other factors should be considered when linking EMFs to developing certain diseases. Since our company was concerned about our customers’ anxiety, we decided to make a report on the subject. This report will...

We will discuss the operation of the fundamental op-amp applications. Keep in mind that the basic operation and characteristics of the op-amps do not change — the only thing that changes is how we use them Inverting Amplifier Circuit consists of an op-amp and three resistors The positive (+) input to the op-amp is grounded through R2 The negative (-) input is connected to the input signal (via R1) and also to the feedback signal from the output (via RF) Inverting Amplifier V V+ Assume that amplifier operates in its linearly amplifying region.

...E663 Laboratory session 8: AC Operational Amplifiers Agrim Ganti University College London 5th December 2008 ABSTRACT The report is written on an investigation which comprises of testing three operational amplifier circuits with AC signals. The three types of circuit include the integrator, the AC inverting amplifier and the AC non-inverting amplifier circuit. The integrator circuit was tested with a square-wave and a sinusoidal wave input signal at 1kHz frequency. The results showed that the square-wave input signal produced a triangular wave output whereas the sinusoidal input produced a sinusoidal output signal with a positive 90 degree phase shift. Both output signals were showed to be the integral of their relative input signals. The output voltage gain of the AC inverting and the AC non-inverting amplifier circuits were tested with a frequency range of 100Hz to 10kHz. The results were plotted on a logarithmic scaled graph which showed that both amplifiers acted like high-pass filters, each amplifier achieving its maximum gain set by the specification at higher frequencies nearer to 10kHz. The only difference between the two op-amps was that the AC inverting amplifier achieved negative gain in comparison to the positive gain achieved by the AC non-inverting amplifier. For further investigation, the frequency was increased above 10kHz for the AC inverting amplifier circuit which showed a linear fall in gain, which was explained by the theory of slew rate limitation...

... F5.1 OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS An operational amplifier (op-amp) is a voltage amplifier which amplifies the difference between the voltages on its two input terminals. Op-amps often require a dual balanced d.c. power supply, e.g. ± 15V. However, they will work over a wide range of supply voltages from ±5V to ±15V. The power supply connections are often omitted from circuit diagrams for simplicity. The diagram below shows the typical connections for an op-amp. [pic] The + input terminal is known as the non-inverting input and the – input terminal is known as the inverting input terminal. The output voltage is given by [pic] where A is the voltage gain. An op-amp is assumed to behave ideally and the general properties of an ideal op-amp include:- • the voltage gain is very large (typically, 106 at low frequencies), • the maximum output voltage is equal to the power supply voltage, (in practice it is about 2V less), • it has infinite input resistance so no current passes into the input terminals, (typically 109(, so there is an input current of a few nano-amps), • the output impedance is zero so it can supply any required current, (in practice many op-amps are designed to limit the current to approximately 15mA), • the output voltage is zero when the two inputs are equal, (in practice there is a small offset voltage which needs a variable resistor to balance out). General Amplifier Definitions An amplifier is designed to produce...

...to introduce the most important of all analog building blocks, the operational amplifier (“op-amp” for short). This handout gives an introduction to these amplifiers and a smattering of the various configurations that they can be used in. Apart from their most common use as amplifiers (both inverting and non-inverting), they also find applications as buffers (load isolators), adders, subtractors, integrators, logarithmic amplifiers, impedance converters, filters (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-reject or notch), and differential amplifiers. So let’s get set for a fun-filled adventure with op-amps! 2. Introduction: Amplifier Circuit Before jumping into op-amps, let’s first go over some amplifier fundamentals. An amplifier has an input port and an output port. (A port consists of two terminals, one of which is usually connected to the ground node.) In a linear amplifier, the output signal = A ( input signal, where A is the amplification factor or “gain.” Depending on the nature of the input and output signals, we can have four types of amplifier gain: voltage gain (voltage out / voltage in), current gain (current out / current in), transresistance (voltage out / current in) and transconductance (current out / voltage in). Since most op-amps are used as voltage-to-voltage amplifiers, we will limit the discussion here to this type of amplifier. The circuit model of an amplifier is shown in Figure 1 (center dashed box, with an input port and an output port)...

...EE2031 Circuit and Systems Design Lab Mini-Project Report Voice Disguiser Presented by: Friday Room 3 Group 7 Wang Ke (A0105276J) Wu Jianxiao (A0099910W) 1.Introduction 1.1 Aim During the 6 hands-on individual labs before this mini project, we have learnt the design and implementation of filter and oscillator, together with applied characterization of different components. The objective of Mini-Project was for students to demonstrate their innovative design skills and implement knowledge learnt in lectures to real-life product design. Therefore, we aimed to integrate what we learnt in individual labs into one single product, which is a Voice Disguiser that can solve practical problems of witness protection. 1.2 Motivations and Inspiration According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, safety is the second most basic need of human being. However, in some lawsuit trail and media interviews, the safety of witnesses is at risk when they come forward to disclose the truth. A study of Columbia University shows that 71% of witnesses said they feel threatened by the offenders (Brendan & Rajiv, 2007). Therefore, it is necessary to use a Voice disguiser to protect witnesses from being recognized based on their originally identifiable voice. And this issue inspires me to design a voice disguiser. After consulting lab TAs and lecturer, we found that this idea is feasible based on limited lab conditions and time constrains 1.3 List of Materials No. 1 3 4 5 ...

...in a radio frequency communication system. These are: * Antenna * Amplifier * Filter * Mixer * Source These five parts are then put together to do one of two basic functions: transmit or receive. The name of the resulting device is a radio. The radio also may go by many other names based on marketing considerations or its specific role in the wireless network. A radio is used to send and receive a signal that flows through the air as a series of electromagnetic waves. Radios can take on many different forms. As such, it is not always easy to identify them. When transmitting or receiving, the goal is to produce a perfect sine wave, of the exact size required, at only one frequency. A block diagram of the basic parts looks like the following. For a transmitter: This diagram shows a conceptual layout of a typical transmitter. Included in it are six elements. They are, in order: source, amplifier, source, mixer, filter, high-power amplifier, and antenna. For a transmitter, the signal is generated by the source. The mixer changes the frequency of the signal. The filter removes undesired frequencies. The amplifier increases the signal. The antenna transforms the electrical current into a radio wave. The other amplifier provides the electrical signal. It also feeds into the mixer. For a receiver: This diagram shows a conceptual layout of a typical receiver. Included in it are seven elements. They are, in order: antenna, low-noise amplifier, filter, mixer...

Procedure In this laboratory session, we dealt with another type of transistors known as the Field Effect Transistors (FET). Indeed, these transistors employ one type of charges, i.e. either electrons or holes depending on the channel polarity and hence the name unipolar devices arise. FETs are voltage controlled devices that have a very high input impedance and low noise level. Task 1: Frequency response of FET amplifier Task 2: Frequency response of Common-Drain FET amplifier: In this task, we dealt with the frequency response of Common-Drain FET amplifier shown in Figure 1 below.
