Circuit Built
The lab for today consisted of applying different signals with multiple frequency components. This circuit consisted of a resistor (1kΩ) in series with a capacitor (100nF) and resistor (1kΩ) in parallel.
Theoretical Results
Before beginning the lab we were asked to determine the magnitude response of the circuit. We then created different wave functions to supply to the circuit. We created a custom waveform, 20(sin(1000πt)+sin(2000πt)+sin(20,000πt)) and sinusoidal sweep function. Using the Analog Discovery we were also able to measure Vin and Vout from the circuit.
20(sin(1000πt)+sin(2000πt)+sin(20,000πt))
Looking at the graph, the high frequency part is more suppressed than the low frequency part. 
Sinusoidal Sweep
As can be seen by the graph, the frequency is being suppressed as time passes and jumps back up again while the process is repeated.
Summary:
Today, we learned about frequency response. The frequency response of a circuit is determined by the variation in its behavior with change in signal frequency. We can use the transfer function H(w) to find the frequency response of a circuit.The transfer function of a circuit is the frequency dependent ratio of a phasor output Y(ω) (voltage or current) to a phasor input X(ω) (source voltage or current). We can use these equations to analyze the transfer function.
