Figure 1 - Tow-Thomas Biquad Filter 1) Show that the transfer function of the above system (for the low pass filter output) is:

Simplify the transfer function when R1=R2=R3=Rs=R and C1=C2=C. 2) Simulate the system and obtain the frequency response (magnitude and phase) plots for low pass filter output and incl ude them in the report. (Use R1=R2=R3=R=Rs= 1KOhms and C1=C2=1uF for your implementation.) 3) Build this system using ASLKv2010 Starter Kit. A pply a sine wave input of suitable magnitude and frequency ranging from 100Hz to 1KHz. Obtain the frequency response (magnitude and phase) plots and include them in the report. 4) Compare the frequency response obtained in steps 2 and step 3. 5) You can convert the filter of Figure 1 into a voltage-controlled filter by inserting a multiplier in the loop, as shown in Figure 2. Here, we have used MPY634KP from Texas Instruments . O btain the frequency response (magnitude and phase) plots for three different values of control voltage (1V, 5V and 8V). Comment on the change in the bandwidt h of the low pass filter with change in the control voltage.
