Lecture 13: Natural Frequency and Bode Plot: Lecturer: Dr. Vinita Vasudevan Scribe: Shashank Shekhar

The document discusses natural frequencies, Bode plots, and examples of analyzing electric circuits using Laplace transforms. [1] Natural frequencies are determined by the number of independent initial conditions and can be found by solving the network matrix polynomial. [2] Bode plots show the magnitude and phase response of a transfer function H(jω) by plotting |H(jω)| and ∠H(jω) versus ω. [3] Examples analyze simple RC circuits and calculate their transfer functions to demonstrate natural frequencies and generate sample Bode plots.

Lecturer: Dr. Vinita Vasudevan Scribe: Shashank Shekhar

Natural Frequencies
* No. of natural frequencies = # of independent initial conditions that can be assigned
≡ order of the circuit.
* can be obtained by solving for roots of the polynomial obtained by determinant of the
node/mesh based network matrix.
* n natural frequencies k1 es1 t +k2 es2 t +· · ·+kn esn t but it may happen that a frequency have
multiplicity more than one.

* System is stable, poles in LHP/simple poles in jω axis; transient will die out or you
get solution of form cosω0 t, sinω0 t, u (t)
Exercise - Find the natural frequencies of the following circuits

Hint: There could be additional poles at zero.
