1.0 OBJECTIVES

 To find a mathematical model, called a transfer function, for a linear time-invariant system of
electrical system using MATLAB.

2.0 EQUIPMENT/COMPONENTS

i) Computer
ii) MATLAB Software

3.0 SYNOPSIS & THEORY

 Through this experiment, student will apply transfer function for an electrical system. Student
needs to derive out the equivalent transfer function from the physical system given.
 Then, the student will attempt the similar procedures using MATLAB.

Example 1

Given an electrical network as shown in Figure 1, find the equivalent transfer function for that system.
I 1 ( s) I 2 ( s) V R (s) V R (s)
Find G 1 ( s )= , G 2 ( s )= and G 3 ( s )= . Find for the given parameters: L1=1
V ( s) V ( s) V (s) V (s)
H, L2=1H, C=1F, and R=1Ω.
