Homework Statement



draw a circuit for a and pass filter using only capacitor and resistors that will transmit signals in the range 200-1500 hertz. if there are only 100 nf capacitors choose resistor values.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



i know the circut would look like this http://www.web-books.com/eLibrary/Engineering/Circuits/AC/02121.png
but am not sure how to work out r.
thanks

What you have there is a low pass filter in series with a high pass filter, thus creating a filter which will only allow a range of frequencies through.

HINT:

In order to allow the range 200Hz -1500Hz to pass what must be:

The cutoff frequency for the high pass filter?

The cutoff frequency for the low pass?

Can you use this information to find the resistor values?
