MULTIWAY SPEAKER SYSTEMS AND ACTIVE BOXES
Multiway loudspeaker systems provide the best possible acoustic performance since each loudspeaker is specially designed and optimized to handle a limited range of frequencies. Commonly, these loudspeaker systems divide the audio spectrum two or three bands. To maintain a flat frequency response over the Hi-Fi audio range the bands cobered by each loudspeaker must overlap slightly. Imbalance between the loudspeakers produces unacceptable results therefore it is important to ensure that each unit generates the correct amount of acoustic energy for its segments of the audio spectrum. In this respect it is also important to know the energy distribution of the music spectrum to determine the cutoff frequencies of the crossover filters(see Fig. 2).As an example, a 100W three-way system with crossover frequencies of 400Hz and 3KHz would require 50W for the woofer,35W for the midrange unit and 15W for the tweeter. Both active and passive filters can be used for crossovers but active filters cost significantly less than a good passive filter using aircored inductors and non-electrolytic capacitors. In addition active filters do not suffer from the typical defects of passive filters: --Power less; --Increased impedance seen by the loudspeaker(lower damping) --Difficulty of precise design due to variable loudspeaker impedance. Obviously, active crossovers can only be used if a power amplifier is provide for each drive unit. This makes it particularly interesting and economically sound to use monolithic power amplifiers. In some applications complex filters are not relay necessary and simple RC low-pass and high-pass networks(6dB/octave) can be recommended. The result obtained are excellent because this is the best type of audio filter and the only one free from phase and transient distortion. The rather poor out of band attenuation of single RC filters means that the loudspeaker must operate linearly well beyond the crossover frequency to avoid distortion. A more effective solution is shown in Fig. 3. The proposed circuit can realize combined power amplifiers and 12dB/octave or high-pass or low-pass filters. In proactive, at the input pins amplifier two equal and in-phase voltages are available, as required for the active filter operations. The impedance at the Pin(-) is of the order of 100Ω,while that of the Pin (+) is very high, which is also what was wanted.

The components values calculated for fc=900Hz using a Bessel 3rd Sallen and Key structure are: C1=C2=C3=22nF,R1=8.2KΩ,R2=5.6KΩ,R3=33KΩ. Using this type of crossover filter, a complete 3-way 60W active loudspeaker system is shown in Fig. 20. It employs 2nd order Buttherworth filter with the crossover frequencies equal to 300Hz and 3kHz. The midrange section consistors of two filters a high pass circuit followed by a low pass network. With Vs=36V the output power delivered to the woofer is 25W at d=0.06%( 30W at d=0.5%).The power delivered to the midrange and the tweeter can be optimized in the design phase taking in account the loudspeaker efficiency and impedance (RL=4Ω to 8Ω).

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AMPLIFIERS
Another important field of application for active system is music. In this area the use of several medium power amplifiers is more convenient than a single high power amplifier, and it is also more reliable. A typical example (see Fig. 4) consist of four amplifiers each driving a low-cost, 12 inch loudspeaker. This application can supply 80 to 160W rms.

TRANSIENT INTER-MODULATION DISTORTION(TIM)
Transient inter-modulation distortion is an unfortunate phenomena associated with negative-feedback amplifiers. When a feedback amplifier receives an input signal which rises very steeply, i.e. contains high-frequency components, the feedback can arrive too late so that the amplifiers overloads and a burst of inter-modulation distortion will be produced as in Fig.5. Since transients occur frequently in music this obviously a problem for the designed of audio amplifiers. Unfortunately, heavy negative feedback is frequency used to reduce the total harmonic distortion of an amplifier, which tends to aggravate the transient inter-modulation (TIM situation.)

The best known method for the measurement of TIM consists of feeding sine waves superimposed onto square wavers, into the amplifier under test. The output spectrum is then examined using a spectrum analyzer and compared to the input. This method suffers from serious disadvantages: the accuracy is limited, the measurement is a tatter delicate operation and an expensive spectrum analyzer is essential. The "inverting-sawtooth" method of measurement is based on the response of an amplifier to a 20KHz saw-tooth wave-form. The amplifier has no difficulty following the slow ramp but it cannot follow the fast edge. The output will follow the upper line in Fig.6 cutting of the shade area and thus increasing the mean level. If this output signal is filtered to remove the saw-tooth, direct voltage remains which indicates the amount of TIM distortion, although it is difficult to measure because it is indistinguishable from the DC offset of the amplifier. This problem is neatly avoided in the IS-TIM method by periodically inverting the saw-tooth wave-form at a low audio frequency as shown in Fig.7. In the case of the saw-tooth in Fig. 8 the mean level was increased by the TIM distortion, for a saw-tooth in the other direction the opposite is true.

The result is an AC signal at the output whole peak-to-peak value is the TIM voltage, which can be measured easily with an oscilloscope. If the peak-topeak value of the signal and the peak-to-peak of the inverting sawtooth are measured, the TIM can be found very simply from:
TIM = VOUT * 100 Vsawtooth

In Fig.8 The experimental results are shown for the 30W amplifier using the UTC TDA2030 as a driver and a low-cost complementary pair. A simple RC filter on the input of the amplifier to limit the maximum signal slope(SS) is an effective way to reduce TIM. The Diagram of Fig.9 can be used to find the Slew-Rate(SR) required for a given output power or voltage and a TIM design target. For example if an anti-TIM filter with a cutoff at 30kHz is used and the max. peak to peak output voltage is 20V then, referring to the diagram, a Slew-Rate of 6V/µs is necessary for 0.1% TIM. As shown Slew-Rates of above 10V/µs do not contribute to a further reduction in TIM. Slew-Rates of 100V/µs are not only useless but also a disadvantage in hi-fi audio amplifiers because they tend to turn the amplifier into a radio receiver.

POWER SUPPLY

LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

Using monolithic audio amplifier with non regulated supply correctly. In any working case it must provide a supply voltage less than the maximum value fixed by the IC breakdown voltage. It is essential to take into account all the working conditions, in particular mains fluctuations and supply voltage variations with and without load. The UTC TDA2030 (Vsmax=44V) is particularly suitable for substitution of the standard IC power amplifiers (with Vsmax=36V) for more reliable applications. An example, using a simple full-wave rectifier followed by a capacitor filter, is shown in the table and in the diagram of Fig.10. A regulated supply is not usually used for the power output stages because of its dimensioning must be done taking into account the power to supply in signal peaks. They are not only a small percentage of the total music signal, with consequently large overdimensioning of the circuit. Even if with a regulated supply higher output power can be obtained(Vs is constant in all working conditions),the additional cost and power dissipation do not usually justify its use. using non-regulated supplies, there are fewer designee restriction. In fact, when signal peaks are present, the capacitor filter acts as a flywheel supplying the required energy. In average conditions, the continuous power supplied is lower. The music power/continuous power ratio is greater in case than for the case of regulated supplied, with space saving and cost reduction.

SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION

LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

The UTC TDA2030 has an original circuit which limits the current of the output transistors. This function can be considered as being peak power limiting rather than simple current limiting. It reduces the possibility that the device gets damaged during an accidental short circuit from AC output to Ground.

THERMAL SHUT-DOWN
The presence of a thermal limiting circuit offers the following advantages: 1).An overload on the output (even if it is permanent),or an above limit ambient temperature can be easily supported since the Tj can not be higher than 150°C 2).The heatsink can have a smaller factor of safety compared with that of a congenital circuit, There is no possibility of device damage due to high junction temperature increase up to 150°C, the thermal shut-down simply reduces the power dissipation and the current consumption.

Electromagnetic and Health Risk

...Introduction: Are Electromagnetic Fields a Risk for Human Health? Power lines allow the transmission of electricity. These exist all over the world, but are more predominant in some places, depending on the energy consumption. Although they all work for the same purpose, there are different types of power lines systems, and some have higher voltages than the others. Electromagnetic fields are created with the conduction of electricity, “because of the movement and existence of the charges. During the 1970’s, an examination was made on childhood leukemia and the results found a possible relationship between an increase in the disease and exposure to electromagnetic fields. From that moment on, many other studies attempted to show a link between electromagnetic fields and other diseases, which has caused major concern in many people. While some studies claim that there is a link between the two, some others demand that there is not enough proof to categorize electromagnetic fields as dangerous to human health. Even though exposure to electromagnetic fields has been labeled as a “human carcinogen,” most experts claim that there is not enough proof to make this claim and most studies show no relationship between these diseases and exposure to EMFs. Perhaps, some other factors should be considered when linking EMFs to developing certain diseases. Since our company was concerned about our customers’ anxiety, we decided to make a report on the subject. This report will...

Ac Operational Amplifiers

...E663 Laboratory session 8: AC Operational Amplifiers Agrim Ganti University College London 5th December 2008 ABSTRACT The report is written on an investigation which comprises of testing three operational amplifier circuits with AC signals. The three types of circuit include the integrator, the AC inverting amplifier and the AC non-inverting amplifier circuit. The integrator circuit was tested with a square-wave and a sinusoidal wave input signal at 1kHz frequency. The results showed that the square-wave input signal produced a triangular wave output whereas the sinusoidal input produced a sinusoidal output signal with a positive 90 degree phase shift. Both output signals were showed to be the integral of their relative input signals. The output voltage gain of the AC inverting and the AC non-inverting amplifier circuits were tested with a frequency range of 100Hz to 10kHz. The results were plotted on a logarithmic scaled graph which showed that both amplifiers acted like high-pass filters, each amplifier achieving its maximum gain set by the specification at higher frequencies nearer to 10kHz. The only difference between the two op-amps was that the AC inverting amplifier achieved negative gain in comparison to the positive gain achieved by the AC non-inverting amplifier. For further investigation, the frequency was increased above 10kHz for the AC inverting amplifier circuit which showed a linear fall in gain, which was explained by the theory of slew rate limitation...

... F5.1 OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS An operational amplifier (op-amp) is a voltage amplifier which amplifies the difference between the voltages on its two input terminals. Op-amps often require a dual balanced d.c. power supply, e.g. ± 15V. However, they will work over a wide range of supply voltages from ±5V to ±15V. The power supply connections are often omitted from circuit diagrams for simplicity. The diagram below shows the typical connections for an op-amp. [pic] The + input terminal is known as the non-inverting input and the – input terminal is known as the inverting input terminal. The output voltage is given by [pic] where A is the voltage gain. An op-amp is assumed to behave ideally and the general properties of an ideal op-amp include:- • the voltage gain is very large (typically, 106 at low frequencies), • the maximum output voltage is equal to the power supply voltage, (in practice it is about 2V less), • it has infinite input resistance so no current passes into the input terminals, (typically 109(, so there is an input current of a few nano-amps), • the output impedance is zero so it can supply any required current, (in practice many op-amps are designed to limit the current to approximately 15mA), • the output voltage is zero when the two inputs are equal, (in practice there is a small offset voltage which needs a variable resistor to balance out). General Amplifier Definitions An amplifier is designed to produce...

...to introduce the most important of all analog building blocks, the operational amplifier (“op-amp” for short). This handout gives an introduction to these amplifiers and a smattering of the various configurations that they can be used in. Apart from their most common use as amplifiers (both inverting and non-inverting), they also find applications as buffers (load isolators), adders, subtractors, integrators, logarithmic amplifiers, impedance converters, filters (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-reject or notch), and differential amplifiers. So let’s get set for a fun-filled adventure with op-amps! 2. Introduction: Amplifier Circuit Before jumping into op-amps, let’s first go over some amplifier fundamentals. An amplifier has an input port and an output port. (A port consists of two terminals, one of which is usually connected to the ground node.) In a linear amplifier, the output signal = A ( input signal, where A is the amplification factor or “gain.” Depending on the nature of the input and output signals, we can have four types of amplifier gain: voltage gain (voltage out / voltage in), current gain (current out / current in), transresistance (voltage out / current in) and transconductance (current out / voltage in). Since most op-amps are used as voltage-to-voltage amplifiers, we will limit the discussion here to this type of amplifier. The circuit model of an amplifier is shown in Figure 1 (center dashed box, with an input port and an output port)...

Mini Project

...EE2031 Circuit and Systems Design Lab Mini-Project Report Voice Disguiser Presented by: Friday Room 3 Group 7 Wang Ke (A0105276J) Wu Jianxiao (A0099910W) 1.Introduction 1.1 Aim During the 6 hands-on individual labs before this mini project, we have learnt the design and implementation of filter and oscillator, together with applied characterization of different components. The objective of Mini-Project was for students to demonstrate their innovative design skills and implement knowledge learnt in lectures to real-life product design. Therefore, we aimed to integrate what we learnt in individual labs into one single product, which is a Voice Disguiser that can solve practical problems of witness protection. 1.2 Motivations and Inspiration According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, safety is the second most basic need of human being. However, in some lawsuit trail and media interviews, the safety of witnesses is at risk when they come forward to disclose the truth. A study of Columbia University shows that 71% of witnesses said they feel threatened by the offenders (Brendan & Rajiv, 2007). Therefore, it is necessary to use a Voice disguiser to protect witnesses from being recognized based on their originally identifiable voice. And this issue inspires me to design a voice disguiser. After consulting lab TAs and lecturer, we found that this idea is feasible based on limited lab conditions and time constrains 1.3 List of Materials No. 1 3 4 5 ...

Basic

...in a radio frequency communication system. These are: * Antenna * Amplifier * Filter * Mixer * Source These five parts are then put together to do one of two basic functions: transmit or receive. The name of the resulting device is a radio. The radio also may go by many other names based on marketing considerations or its specific role in the wireless network. A radio is used to send and receive a signal that flows through the air as a series of electromagnetic waves. Radios can take on many different forms. As such, it is not always easy to identify them. When transmitting or receiving, the goal is to produce a perfect sine wave, of the exact size required, at only one frequency. A block diagram of the basic parts looks like the following. For a transmitter: This diagram shows a conceptual layout of a typical transmitter. Included in it are six elements. They are, in order: source, amplifier, source, mixer, filter, high-power amplifier, and antenna. For a transmitter, the signal is generated by the source. The mixer changes the frequency of the signal. The filter removes undesired frequencies. The amplifier increases the signal. The antenna transforms the electrical current into a radio wave. The other amplifier provides the electrical signal. It also feeds into the mixer. For a receiver: This diagram shows a conceptual layout of a typical receiver. Included in it are seven elements. They are, in order: antenna, low-noise amplifier, filter, mixer...

Procedure In this laboratory session, we dealt with another type of transistors known as the Field Effect Transistors (FET). Indeed, these transistors employ one type of charges, i.e. either electrons or holes depending on the channel polarity and hence the name unipolar devices arise. FETs are voltage controlled devices that have a very high input impedance and low noise level. Task 1: Frequency response of FET amplifier Task 2: Frequency response of Common-Drain FET amplifier: In this task, we dealt with the frequency response of Common-Drain FET amplifier shown in Figure 1 below.
