In the RC filter shown in Figure Q1(c)(i) (see page 3): R2=R4=1k?,
RL=4.7k?, C1=1µF, C3=0.1µF. The Op-Amp is 741 type. The OpAmp can be modeled as a voltage-controlled voltage source, as shown
in Figure Q1(c)(ii) (see page 3). Ri and Ro are the input and output
resistances, respectively. Ao is the open-loop DC voltage gain. For
µA741 Op-Amps, Ri=2M?, Ro=75?, Ao=2 × 105.
If the input to the filter is a 100mV AC voltage source whose frequency
will be varied between 1Hz and 1MHz logarithmically with
100 points-per-decade, write the PSPICE input file to calculate the
frequency response of this filter. (In the Op-Amp model, a DC voltage
source with V=0 can be connected between node 1 and the ground to
simulate the grounded non-inverting terminal).

Q2.
(a)
Figure Q2(a) shows a differential amplifier fed by a common-mode
voltage signal vCM. If the output is taken single ended, assuming
R>>rbe, ß/(ß+1)˜1, derive the voltage gain vc1/vCM or vc2/vCM by using
the concept of the common-mode half-circuit.
