High-Pass Filter Design for MRI Signals

A single-stage high-pass filter is used to reduce a 100 Hz interference component in an MRI signal containing a 4 kHz desired component. To reduce the interference by 20 dB to 0.025 V peak, a capacitor value is needed. Calculations show the filter will affect both signals, reducing the interference as designed but also attenuating and shifting the phase of the desired 4 kHz component. Multisim is used to simulate and confirm the filter's performance on both components.

The output from an MRI scanner sub-system consists of a 4 kHz sine wave signal
component of amplitude 1 volt peak, plus a 100 Hz sine wave interference component
of amplitude 0.5 volts peak. Asingle-stage high-pass filter is used to reduce the
interference. The filter frequency response is:
vOUT / vIN = 1/(1 + (f0 / f)2)1/2; phase lead f = arctan(f0 / f),
where f0 = 1/(2pRC), and vIN and vOUT are the filter input and output voltages.

You are provided with a 5 k resistor, and a free choice of capacitor value to build the
high-pass filter. Calculate the value needed to reduce the interference (100 Hz) by 20, to
0.025 volts peak.
The filter will also have some effect on the wanted (4 kHz) signal. Use the above
formulae to calculate the amplitude and phase shift of the wanted signal after the filter.
Test your design using Multisim. Copy the circuit and scope displays into your
document, with measurements to confirm your results in (a) and (b) above. NOTE: It is
much easier to measure the wanted signal and interference separately, one at a time,
but you should provide a display of bothcomponents together to demonstrate visually
how effective your filter is.
Calculate the reduction of the 100 Hz and 4 kHz components in (c), in decibels.
