INTRODUCTION :
In this experiment we will study one type of filters which is: Low Pass Filter
(LPF).We will connect this filter to understand each one correctly. They play a
major role in any biomedical design project. Therefore, it is a must to have
sufficient knowledge about their function and operation.

THEORY:
By definition, a low-pass filter is a circuit offering easy passage to lowfrequency signals and difficult passage to high-frequency signals. There are
two basic kinds of circuits capable of accomplishing this objective, and
many variations of each one: The inductive low-pass filter and the
capacitive low-pass .
The inductors impedance increases with increasing frequency. This high
impedance in series tends to block high-frequency signals from getting to the
load
Capacitive low-pass filter.
The capacitors impedance decreases with increasing frequency. This low
impedance in parallel with the load resistance tends to short out highfrequency signals, dropping most of the voltage across series resistor R1

Conclusion :
From this experiment we learn how to use this type of filters which is low
pass filter and connect the circuit of this filter. First we took the component
( resistor , capacitor , probes and operational amplifier ) . we apply 15 & -15
V to operational amplifier with 1 v peak to peak. low pass filter pass the low
frequency and block the high frequency . there is max. frequency for for low
pass filter is 400kHz .
