Introduction To learn how easy it is to work with circuits in the s domain To learn the concept of modeling circuits in the s domain To learn the concept of transfer function in the s domain To learn how to apply the state variable method for analyzing linear systems with multiple inputs and multiple outputs To learn how the Laplace transform can be used in stability analysis

Circuit Element Models Steps in applying the Laplace transform: Transform the circuit from the time domain to the s domain (a new step to be discussed later) Solve the circuit using circuit analysis technique (nodal/mesh analysis, source transformation, etc.) Take the inverse Laplace transform of the solution and thus obtain the solution in the time domain

Transfer Functions The transfer function H(s) is the ratio of the output response Y(s) to the input excitation X(s), assuming all initial conditions are zero.

Transfer Functions (Cont’d) Two ways to find H(s) Assume an input and find the output Assume an output and find the input (the ladder method: Ohm’s law + KCL) Four kinds of transfer functions

State Variables The state variables are those variables which, if known, allow all other system parameters to be determined by using only algebraic equations. In an electric circuit, the state variables are the inductor current and the capacitor voltage since they collectively describe the energy state of the system.

State Variable Method

State Variable Method (Cont’d)

How to Apply State Variable Method Steps to apply the state variable method to circuit analysis: Select the inductor current i and capacitor voltage v as the state variables (define vector x, z) Apply KCL and KVL to obtain a set of first-order differential equations (find matrix A, B) Obtain the output equation and put the final result in state-space representaion (find matrix C) H(s)=C(sI-A)-1B

Network Stability A circuit is stable if its impulse response h(t) is bounded as t approaches ; it is unstable if h(t) grows without bound as t approaches . Two requirements for stability Degree of N(s) < Degree of D(s) All the poles must lie in the left half of the s plane

Network Stability (Cont’d) A circuit is stable when all the poles of its transfer function H(s) lie in the left half of the s plane. Circuits composed of passive elements (R, L, and C) and independent sources either are stable or have poles with zero real parts. Active circuits or passive circuits with controlled sources can supply energy, and can be unstable.

Example 2 Find k for a stable circuit.
