Transfer functions of continuous-time systems

Problem 1: Consider the following system:

Let $R_1=40\Omega ,R_2=20\Omega ,L=10mH,C=1\mu F$. The input is $v_{in}$ the output is $v_{out}$. Give both transfer function and state space representation for the system.

Solution

Given circuit is a second-order linear system due to presence of one inductor (L) and one capacitor (C).

Given transfer function $H(s)$ is given by the ratio over Laplace domain:

$$H(s)=\frac{V_{out}(s)}{V_{in}(s)}$$

Given that the impedance of the inductor $Z_l=sL$ and the impedance of the capacitor $Z_c=\frac{1}{sC}$, the total impedance of the circuit is given by:

$$Z_{\text{total}}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{sL}+sC}$$

Using voltage divider rule, the transfer function is given by:

$$H(s)=\frac{V_{out}(s)}{V_{in}(s)}=\frac{\frac{1}{sC}}{\frac{1}{sL}+\frac{1}{sC}}$$
