Lecture 14 Introduction to dynamic systems Energy storage Basic time-varying signals Related educational materials: Chapter 6.1, 6.2
Review and Background • Our circuits have not contained any energy storage elements • Resistors dissipate energy • Governing equations are algebraic, the system responds instantaneously to changes
Example: Inverting voltage amplifier • The system output at some time depends only on the input at that time • Example: If the input changes suddenly, the output changes suddenly
Inverting voltage amplifier – switched response • Input and response:
Dynamic Systems • We now consider circuits containing energy storage elements • Capacitors and inductors store energy • The circuits are dynamic systems • They are governed by differential equations • Physically, they are performing integrations • If we apply a time-varying input to the system, the output may not have the same “shape” as the input • The system output depends upon the state of the system at previous times
Dynamic System – example • Heating a frying pan
Dynamic System Example – continued • The rate at which the temperature can respond is dictated by the body’s mass and material properties • The heat out of the mass is governed by the difference in temperature between the body and the surroundings: • The mass is storing heat as temperature
Time-varying signals • We now have to account for changes in the system response with time • Previously, our analyses could be viewed as being independent of time • The system inputs and outputs will become functions of time • Generically referred to a signals • We need to introduce the basic time-varying signals we will be using
Basic Time-Varying Signals • In this class, we will restrict our attention to a few basic types of signals: • Step functions • Exponential functions • Sinusoidal functions • Sinusoidal functions will be used extensively later; we will introduce them at that time
Step Functions • The unit step function is defined as: • Circuit to generate the signal:
Scaled and shifted step functions • Scaling • Multiply by a constant • Shifting • Moving in time
Example 1 • Sketch 5u0(t-3)
Example 2 • Represent v(t) in the circuit below in terms of step functions
Example 3 • Represent the function as a single • function defined over -<t<.
Exponential Functions • An exponential function is defined by • is the time constant • > 0
Exponential Functions – continued • Our exponential functions will generally be limited to t≥0: • or: • Note: f(t) decreases by 63.2% every seconds
Exponential Functions – continued • Why are exponential functions important? • They are the form of the solutions to ordinary, linear differential equations with constant coefficients
