Bonus [5 points] If the input Vin = 1 V and the frequency is 1 MHz, what is the output Vout?
f (^) 2 = 1 MHz , so y = − 3 dB = 10 log(^12 ) 2 2 ( ) 2

= H f = Vout Vin 0. 707 V 2
Bonus [5 points] If the input Vin = 1 V and the frequency is 10 MHz, what is the output Vout?
10 MHz = 10 f 2 : one decade past break frequency
At large f , slope is -20 dB/decade. Thus, y = -20 dB, since f is 1 decade higher than the break frequency, where the Bode approximation is 0 dB.
y = − 20 dB = 10 log( 1001 ) 2 2 ( ) 100
