Consider two pieces of software that you use or want to learn to use (you cannot consider Word, PowerPoint, or Excel® for the purposes of this assignment). Is the software you chose proprietary, or is it open source? How do you know? If it is proprietary, find an open-source alternative (For example, if you are looking for a proprietary word processing program, you might choose OpenOffice Writer.).
What are the benefits and drawbacks of using proprietary software?
What are the benefits and drawbacks of using open-source software?
Are there any drawbacks or benefits that are particular to the software you wrote about?

I’m asked to provide the following:
“Would you mind sending me a brief description of what your experience was within your internships? If you could do it in a resume format, where you would put your experience, would be great. You can absolutely do bullet points! I want to make sure to accurately depict all of your knowledge and experience in addition to school when I present your resume to the Hiring Manager.”
In the internship I’ve used a micro controller called Arduino.
please keep it basic, simple, and brief as I haven’t work with this device much, although I’d like to project that I have a bit of knowledge about the device.
More information are provided in the file I’ve attached.
Research and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of passive filters. Some advantages are, it is reliable, they can handle large voltage currents and power, there is no limitation on the frequency range, they do not need the additional dc power supply for their operation, easy to design, cheaper as compared to active filter, no amplifying elements, require no power supply, high frequency. Some disadvantages are, response problems, tuning for fixed frequency, fixed reactive power compensation, large in size, there is no isolation between input and output, the circuit becomes bulky if inductors are used, there is always some loss of signal it can be in the passband, this circuit cannot provide any gain, source loading can take place, there is no clear demarcation between passband and stopband but actually, it gets mixed up, in this frequency response is not sharp since when switching from passband to stopband there is no sudden change in output.
Research and discuss types of passive filters and their use. Low-pass filters: attenuate or suppress signals with frequencies above a particular frequency called the cutoff or critical frequency. For example, a low-pass filter (LPF) with a cutoff frequency of 40 Hz can eliminate noise with a frequency of 60 Hz. High-pass filters: suppress or attenuate signals with frequencies lower than a particular frequency, also called the cutoff or critical frequency. For example, a high-pass filter (HPF) with a cutoff frequency of 100 Hz can be used to suppress the unwanted DC voltage in amplifier systems, if desired. Band-pass filters: attenuate or suppress signals with frequencies outside a band of frequencies. They are common in TV or radio tuning circuits. Band-reject, or notch filters: attenuate or suppress signals with a range of frequencies. For instance, a notch filter can reject signals with frequencies between 50 Hz and 150 Hz.
Why do passive filters not provide current amplification? Since passive components consume power from the input signal, the passive filter does not provide power gain and the output signal has a lower magnitude than the input. It requires amplification post-filtering. Features of Passive Filter Passive filter use only passive components such as resistor, capacitor and inductor.
What is circuit isolation and why is not having any of a passive filter a disadvantage? Isolation is a means of preventing current from flowing between two communicating points. Typically, isolation is used in two general situations. You don’t need isolation through a passive filter.
What are first order and second order filter and what are their uses? High pass filter is a frequency selecting electronic circuit that controls the frequency components in a signal by attenuating blocking the low-frequency components and allowing only high-frequency components. An active filter means that its circuit contains an active component such as a transistor, operational amplifier Op-Amp, etc. for better performance but mainly for amplification.

Why do passive filters not provide current amplification?
Passive filters do not provide current amplification because passive filters are made up of passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors and have no amplifying elements (ElectronicsTutorial, n.d.). Therefore, no signal gain and output level is always less than or never exceeds the input.
What is circuit isolation and why is not having any of a passive filter a disadvantage?
Circuit isolation provides a barrier using a mechanic switch to separate two circuits to prevent dangerous voltages from passing through the electrical circuit in the event of an electrical fault or failure in the system (AtlasScientific, 2022). The disadvantage of not having a passive filter is the circuit isolation will still allow any range of frequency to pass through the circuit.
What are first order and second order filter and what are their uses?
A first order filter can be made by connecting together a single resistor and a single capacitor/inductor in series across an input signal (Vin), with the output of the filter (Vout) taken from the junction of these two components (ElectronicsTutorial, n.d.). A second order filter will have two of either components, and the stability of the system is proportional to the order of the filter.
