Question 4. a) (1 points) An experiment generates a constant voltage signal, the amplitude of which encodes the value of a parameter of interest. Unfortunately, 6 Hz and 12 Hz noise from the fluorescent lights is added to the signal in the process and conflicts with the measurement of the voltage signal. Discuss how one of the circuits discussed in class can be used to combat this noise. Include the schemat of the circuit and the diagram that relates the input and output of the circuit. b) (5 points) Discuss how you would choose the values of the components to be included in the circuit. You may do this in a qualitative way.. Thursday, October 16, 23-8 -
Question 5. Figure 6 illustrates an attempted voltage measurement of a real voltage source that can be modeled as an ideal source, V S, in series with a resistance, R S. The voltage reading is reported by a real voltage meter that can be modeled as an ideal voltage meter that displays the value of e M and has an input resistance, R M, between the inputs. If R 1 = 3KΩ, R 2 = 6K Ω, and R M = 1 MΩ, and e M is observed to be 6. volts, answer the following questions. Assume that i + = i - = for both operational amplifiers, i M+ = i M- =, and both operational amplifiers are operational. R S and V S are unknown. Show your work.

Question 7. The following circuit is completed by connecting Q A to X, Q B to Y, and Q C to Z. A periodic pulse train is connected to the input IN. Complete the state table below for the circuit for at least 1 pulses(cycles) of the signal IN. Each line will represents the state of the devices resulting from the nth pulse(cycle) of the signal IN. Note: In some cases there may be more than one step after a given pulse(cycle) of the signal IN and will require multiple lines to describe the sequence of events. Assume that all three flip flops are initially cleared. The flip flops are cleared by a low on the Clear inputs. Extra columns and rows are included for your convenience. You may not need them.
