Formulas for the RL high pass


Calculate the voltage ratio


The output voltage U2 of an RL high pass is calculated using the following formula.

\(\displaystyle U_2=U_1 ·\frac{2 · π · f ·L} {\sqrt{R^2 + (2 · π · f · L)^2}}\)

or simply if XL is known

\(\displaystyle U_2=U_1 ·\frac{X_L}{\sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2}}\)
\(\displaystyle X_L=2 π · f ·L\)

Attenuation in decibels


At the resonance frequency, the damping is 3 dB. It can be calculated for the various frequencies using the formulas below. If the input and output voltage are known, the attenuation can easily be calculated using the following formula.

\(\displaystyle V_u=20 · lg \left(\frac{U_2}{U_1} \right) \)

If the voltages are not known, the following formula is used.

\(\displaystyle V_u=20·lg\left(\frac{2 · π · f ·L} {\sqrt{R^2 + (2 · π · f · L)^2}}\right)\)

or simply shown

\(\displaystyle V_u=20·lg\left(\frac{ω · L} {\sqrt{R^2 + (ω · L)^2}}\right)\)

Phase shift


In an RL high pass, the output voltage leads the input voltage by 0 ° - 90 °, depending on the frequency. At the resonance frequency, the phase shift is 45 °. At frequencies that are higher than the cut-off frequency, it tends to 0. At lower frequencies, the phase shifts in the direction of 90 °. The phase shift can be calculated using the following formula.

\(\displaystyle φ=acos \left(\frac{U_2}{U_1} \right)\)
\(\displaystyle φ= arctan \left(\frac{R}{ω ·L}\right)\)

Cutoff frequency


At the cutoff frequency fg or ωg the value of the amplitude-frequency response (ie the magnitude of the transfer function) is 0.707, which corresponds to -3dB.

\(\displaystyle 0.707= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Cutoff frequency formulas

\(\displaystyle ω_g= \frac{R}{L} ⇒ f_g=\frac{R}{2·π·L}\)
\(\displaystyle R=2·π·f_g·L\)
\(\displaystyle L=\frac{R}{2·π·f_g}\)
