Circuit applications 1. Transfer functions 2. Convolution integrals 3. RLC circuit with initial conditions
Transfer function h(t) x(t) y(t) Network System In time domain, In s-domain,
Example 1 For the following circuit, find H(s)=Vo(s)/Vi(s). Assume zero initial conditions.
Solution Transform the circuit into s-domain with zero i.c.:
Example 2 Obtain the transfer function H(s)=Vo(s)/Vi(s), for the following circuit.
Solution Transform the circuit into s-domain (We can assume zero i.c. unless stated in the question)
Example 3 Use convolution to find vo(t) in the circuit of Fig.(a) when the excitation (input) is the signal shown in Fig.(b).
Solution Step 1: Transform the circuit into s-domain (assume zero i.c.) Step 2: Find the TF
Step 3: Find vo(t) For t < 0 For t > 0
Circuit element models • Apart from the transformations we must model the s-domain equivalents of the circuit elements when there is involving initial condition (i.c.) • Unlike resistor, both inductor and capacitor are able to store energy
Therefore, it is important to consider the initial current of an inductor and the initial voltage of a capacitor • For an inductor : • Taking the Laplace transform on both sides of eqn gives or
For a capacitor • Taking the Laplace transform on both sides of eqn gives or
Example 4 Consider the parallel RLC circuit of the following. Find v(t) and i(t) given that v(0) = 5 V and i(0) = −2 A.
Solution Transform the circuit into s-domain (use the given i.c. to get the equivalents of L and C)
Since the denominator cannot be factorized, we may write it as a completion of square: Finding i(t),
Using partial fractions, It can be shown that Hence,
Example 5 The switch in the following circuit moves from position a to position b at t = 0 second. Compute io(t) for t > 0.
Solution The i.c. are not given directly. Hence, at first we need to find the i.c. by analyzing the circuit when t ≤ 0:
Then, we can analyze the circuit for t > 0 by considering the i.c. Let
Using current divider rule, we find that Using partial fraction we have
