Basic Principle

Transfer Function
Transfer function algebraically relates a system’s output to its input. The function will allow separation of the input,
system and output into three separate and distinct parts. The function algebraically allows us to combine mathematical
representation of subsystems to yield a total system representation.

The RLC Circuit Transfer Function

An electrical network with passive linear devices namely resistors, capacitors and inductors can be represented by a linear,
time-invariant differential equation and can be modeled as a transfer function. In the given RLC circuit in Figure 3a, if the devices
have values of 3 ohms resistor, 1 Henry inductor and two capacitors with 1 Farad each, the transfer function will be derived to be as
shown in Figure 2b. To learn more about how the transfer function model was derived, refer to the video lessons provided.

Figure 5 shows the output response curve of the given transfer function. In the step command line [Y,t] = step (G,10), the
value of time t may be varied, below or above (as high as hundreds), to zoom in or out in order to achieve a better view of the
output response waveform.

Laboratory Procedure

A. Simple Series RLC Circuit

1.0 Create and draw a simple series circuit with four electronic passive devices by combining one resistor and at least one of
each capacitor and inductor. Choose the values from 5 to 10 units for ohms, 0.01 to 1.0 for Farads and Henries
(respectively). Use the farthest device from the input source as the output or load component, which should be a resistor.
