5.2 Solution of Single State Equations

• If a circuit contains only one energy-storing device, the state equations are written as:

• Solution of the first state equation:

5.1 Expressing Differential Equations in State Equation Form

Chapter 5 State Variables and State Equations

• Circuits that contain energy-storing devices (capacitor & inductor) result in integro-differential equations via KCL & KVL
• One energy-storing device = first order; Two energy-storing device = second order; so on
• A first order linear time-invariant circuit can be described by a differential equation of the form:

• An nth-order differential equation can be resolved to n first-order simultaneous differential equation with a set of auxiliary variables called state variables
• The resulting first order differential equations are called state-space equations or simply state equations
• State variables method can also be used on non-linear, time-varying devices
• State equations can also be solved with numerical methods such as Taylor series and Runge-Kutta methods

4.5 Using the Simulink Transfer Fcn Block

• The Simulink Transfer Fcn block implements a transfer function where the input Vin (s) and the output Vout (s) can be expressed in transfer function form as G(s) = Vout(s) / Vin(s)

4.4 Transfer Function

• In an s-domain circuit, the ratio of the output voltage Vout(s) to the input voltage Vin(s) under zero state conditions, is of great interest in network analysis
• The ratio is referred as the voltage transfer function Gv(s):

• Current transfer function Gi(s) - rarely used :

4.3 Complex Admittance Y(s)

• Y(s) is the ratio of the current excitation Is(s) to the voltage response V(s) under zero state (zero initial condition)
• Complex Admittance

• Complex Impedance (under zero state/initial condition)

3.3 Improper Rational Function

• Expression (where N(s)/D(s) is a proper rational function):

3.2 Partial Fraction Expansion

• Laplace transform in most case appear in a rational form of s:

• The coefficient ak and bk are real numbers for k = 1, 2, ..., n
• m < n : F(s) is a proper rational function
• m >= n : F(s) is an improper rational function
• In proper rational function, roots of N(s) (found by setting N(s) = 0) are called zeros of F(s) ; root of D(s) (found by setting D(s) = 0) are called poles of F(s)
• Distinct poles:
• If all the poles (p1, p2, p3, ..., pn) are distinct, F(s):

 

• Using partial fraction expansion method, F(s):

• Residue rk :

• Complex poles:

• Complex poles occur in complex conjugate pairs, the number of complex poles is even

• Multiple (Repeated) poles:

• Partial Fraction Expansion:

• Residue for repeated poles:

3.1 Inverse Laplace Transform Integral

•  Inverse Laplace Transform Integral:

• The integral is difficult to evaluate because it requires contour integration using complex variable theory
• For most engineering problems, we can refer to common Laplace transform pairs to lookup the inverse Laplace transform
