2. Set the Channel AWG Min value to 0.5 and AWG Max value to 4.5 V to apply a 4 V p-p sine
wave centered on 2.5 V as the input voltage to the circuit. From the AWG A Mode drop-down
menu, select SVMI mode. From the AWG A Shape drop-down menu, select Sine. From the
AWG B Mode drop-down menu, select Hi-Z mode.
3. From the ALICE Curves drop-down menu, select CA-V and CB-V for display. From the
Trigger drop-down menu, select CA-V and Auto Level. Set the Hold Off to 2 ms. Adjust the
time base until you have approximately two cycles of the sine wave on the display grid. From the
Meas CA drop-down menu, select P-P under CA-V and do the same for CB. Also from the Meas
CA menu, select A-B Phase.
4. Vary the frequency of the sine wave on the AWG A menu from 500 Hz to 2.5 kHz in 100 Hz
steps. For each frequency, write down the p-p voltage for Channel A and Channel B and the A-B
phase. Note the frequency where the voltage is maximum at the output of the circuit for Channel
B. This will be near the resonant frequency of the circuit. Note that the phase should be nearly
0° at this frequency. Adjust the frequency in 10 Hz increments around where you see a
maximum for CB p-p voltage until the A-B phase is exactly zero.
