L) High Frequency Filter Test
Lift one end of C27. Turn on Generator output A, adjust frequency for 1kHz, and adjust
oscillator level to obtain 4V P/P at the input to the filter, pin 1 of J3. Move probe to junction
R61, C44 and C45.
Refer to Figure 5 above. Note the straight line from 20Hz to 20kHz at 4 volts. This repre-
sents the 4V P/P input signal that was just set up on pin 1 of J3. The curve below this line
represents the transfer function of the first filter section (R61, R71, and C44) when this
section is operating properly.
Sweep the oscillator frequency and note if the readings are reasonably close to the values
indicated in the plot above (+/– 15%). For example, with a filter that operates normally the
output will be 3.3V P/P at 20kHz, 3V P/P at 7kHz, 1.5V P/P at 2kHz, 350mV P/P at 400Hz
and 50mV P/P at 60Hz.
This first section is a high-pass filter with the half power point at 4kHz.
After obtaining proper response proceed to following section.
