RSGC ACES: Investigations into Audio Amplification, Filters and Analysis (November 2025)

 

Wave Form Generation and Plotting

Audio Amplification

Technoblogy: ATtiny85 Function Generator

Investigations

Sending various frequencies of the Tiny Function Generator (TFG)'s square wave output into the 3-pole low pass RC filter described above (fc = 7.1642 Hz) resulted in three Arduino Nano plots below. Attentuation is evident confirming the Youtube presentation from Matthew Johnson (How Low Pass Filters work)
