Let"s see if we can find the gain for a simple RLC circuit. A) Let"s draw the circuit below and find the smooth output.

Let"s see if we can find the gain for a simple RLC circuit. A) Let"s draw the circuit below and find the smooth output. B) Remember that we want to use the Time Domain analysis with our Vac source; otherwise we might not get any results. Are these the results we expected? C) What of the relationship between the output and input? Let"s use the above definition of gain and find the exact gain for this circuit. First, we"ll keep both of these traces and go back to the Add Trace button. In the Trace Expression window, we"ll divide one waveform by the other as . Next we just have to click "OK." Did we expect the graph shown below? What kind of information does this give us? D) Another useful way to illustrate gain or attenuation is with the use of decibels. Decibels are best defined as the level of relative strength of a signal. Follow the directions, but from the Functions or Macros section of the Add Trace window select Analog Operators and Functions in the drop down menu. No
