HE processes started after given the specifications of
each project. The inverting operational amplifier
required a 30 dB gain at 10 kHz with a minimum input
resistance of 5 kΩ and a maximum of 560 kΩ for any
resistor within the circuit. The non-inverting operational
amplifier required a 20 dB gain at 10 kHz with a minimum input
resistance of 5 kΩ and a maximum of 560 kΩ for any resistor Fig. 2. A non-inverting operational amplifier with a gain of 20

required a gain of 0 dB at 19.15 kHz with a minimum input
resistance of 2.5 kΩ and a maximum of 560 kΩ for any resistor Once the previous two circuits have been constructed, construct
within the circuit. For the operational amplifiers the values of the final circuit shown below in Fig. 3.
the rest of the necessary components were deferred to the
student to determine to achieve the specifications stated.
II. PROCEDURE
The design for the three operational amplifier circuits were
calculated by hand to determine the necessary components. The
following circuits were constructed.

For each of the circuits in Fig. 1., Fig. 2., and Fig. 3., (1) was
used to determine the volt per volt gain of each of the circuits.
In Fig 1. (2) was used to determine the total gain of the circuit.
Similarly for Fig 2. (3) was used to determine the total gain.
V. DISCUSSION
The results of this laboratory came out very close to what was
expected. The frequencies and phase angles had slight
variations compared to the expected results but were still
within tolerance. The outcome that was the furthest from the
expected was the gain on the inverting operational amplifier.
Although the outcome is still within tolerance, better resistor
values could have been used to report a gain closer to the
nominal value. The differences in phase could be explained
by excess noise in the circuit and from the environment the
experiment was performed in.
VII. CONCLUSION
The objective of this project is to help students learn how to
design amplifiers that use operational amplifiers, learn how to
measure amplifier performance, and learn how to design
integrators that use operational amplifiers. Students may have
to use problem solving skills to adjust original calculations if
the operational amplifiers do not meet the specifications given.
