Download a copy of lab3 ma firzip from the course

Download a copy of Lab3 MA FIR.zip from the course shell onto the desktop of your computer
and unzip the project to the desktop. Double click on MA FIR.mcp to open the project with
CodeWarrior, and then load it into the Tower system. Compile, load, and run the program on the
Tower system before proceeding to the next step. This loads and runs the 9-point, moving
average filter using the input ADC and output DAC channels that you have just connected.
With the moving average filter program running on the Tower system, verify that the output shown
on Channel 1 of the oscilloscope is a sine wave and that the frequency is the same as the input
signal from the signal generator.
Open a new Excel spreadsheet, and create a data entry table similar to what is shown in Table 2.
Measure and record the filter output amplitude for the Vin = 2.0 Vpp at 10 Hz. Record this
measurement as the 0 Hz measurement due to filter restraints.
Without changing any other settings, increase the frequency to 50 Hz, and record this
measurement as the 50 Hz measurement.
Increase the frequency by 50 Hz to 100 Hz, measure and record the filter output amplitude for the
Vin = 2.0 Vpp at 100 Hz.

Table 2: Data Table for Moving Average Filter Response
Copy and paste your moving average filter response Excel data table into the Week 3 Lab cover
report in the space provided.
From the data recorded in the previous steps, create a graph of the 9-point, moving average filter
linear magnitude frequency response, similar to what was shown in Figure 3. Copy and paste this
graph into the Week 3 Lab cover report. This graph will be used to answer several questions in
the cover report.
Please note that because you have just measured a 9-point, moving average filter, that the graph
will be somewhat different than the 7-point, moving average filter shown in Figure 1. However, the
following calculations and frequency points are still accurate.
The first zero gain (linear) frequency point occurs at 2π/M or F /M, where F is the
sampling frequency of the system.
The cutoff frequency, where the gain of the filter drops to 0.707 of its DC value, occurs at
π/M or 0.5F /M, again where F is the sampling frequency of the system.
Answer the following questions in the Week 3 Lab cover report.
Sallen-Key Low-Pass Filter Analysis Questions
Using the Vpp output at 1,000 Hz as your reference, and the fact that a second order, low-pass
filter attenuates a frequency at the rate of -12 dB per octave, calculate the dB attenuation per
decade for the measurements indicated below.
