AI Thread Summary
To calculate the cut-off frequency of a low pass filter with two op-amps, the standard formula fc = 1/(2∏(fn)RC) applies, but adjustments are needed for multiple stages. Each op-amp's individual frequency response must be considered, as they may have different values for fn, R, and C. The cut-off frequencies for each stage should be calculated separately and then combined to determine the overall filter response. The interaction between the two stages can affect the final cut-off frequency, so it's important to analyze the circuit diagram for accurate results. Properly calculating the cut-off frequency ensures optimal filter performance in the intended application.

How do I work out the cut-off (corner) frequency of a Low Pass Filter?

I know the equation is fc = 1/(2∏(fn)RC)

but I have 2 op-amps in the filter both with different fn's, R's and C's

is it simply calculate each part separately and add the 2 values together?

Cheers

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
