Hi,

I need help with calculating my circuit, I've done something but not sure if that is correct. Any help or direction where to look at is welcome. In the end I need transfer function of the circuit.

The first circuit is the one I start with, the second picture is "simplified" circuit with impedance for easier calculation.
Where
Z1=(1/Cin*s) + R1 + R2 + L1*s
Z2 = R3+L2*s
Z3 = L3*s
Zload = Rload + (1/C2*s) ?

What I need is
uout/uin =
i1/uin =
i2/uin =
i2/i1 =

where uout is voltage on load and uin is entry voltage u1

Fix
Zload = (Rload) / (1 + (Rload*C2*s))
and wrong source symbol - fixed the picture

I'm a bit stuck at the point I came so far. There are now 2 branches, first one with i1 and second one with i2 and when writing the equation for first one the i2*z3 has to be subtracted from first one?

uin = i1*(Z1+Z3) - i2*z3
and
uout = i2*(Z2+Zload+Z3) - i1*Z3 ?

Ah , so you are doing the "mesh analysis". You should have told me that at the begining. In this case you are correct.

I've been told for TF I don't need to do mesh analysis and the function comes as

Uout/Uin=(Z3*ZL) / [ZL*(Z1+Z3)+Z3*(Z1+Z2)+Z1*Z2] ?

=(L3*RL*s)/((C2*RL*s + 1)*((R3 + L2*s)*(R1 + R2 + R3 + L1*s + L2*s + 1/(C1*s)) + L3*s*(R3 + L2*s) + (RL*(R1 + R2 + L1*s + L3*s + 1/(C1*s)))/(C2*RL*s + 1)))

If you will complete a mesh analysis, you will have expressions for i1 and i2 and from those you can get everything you need.

In post #1 you have a couple of equations which should apply to the image in post #6. Because your circuit consists of only two exterior meshes, the mesh currents I and II are the same as the branch currents i1 and i2. The equations used in the mesh analysis are derived by doing a "KVL walk" around each mesh. The voltages across the impedances encountered in the walk, and across any voltage sources encountered add up to zero.

The equation for the left hand mesh then should be: i1*(Z1+Z3) - i2*z3 - uin = 0, which is what you have.

The equation for the right hand mesh should be: i2*(Z2+Zload+Z3) - i1*Z3 = 0, which is a little different from what you have. You shouldn't include a term "uout" in the second equation because there is no "uout" source in that mesh. uout will be determined from i2 as the product of i2 and Zload; that is, uout = i2*Zload.

You can solve these two simultaneous equations for i1 and i2. You will obtain expressions like this:

i1 = uin * expression1
i2 = uin * expression2

A simple algebraic manipulation will then give you:

i1/uin = expression1
i2/uin = expression2

which are two of the things your problem asks you to find. The fourth of the required items is easily given as:

i2/i1 = expression2/expression1

Finally, since uout = i2*Zload, starting from i2/uin = expression2, we can multiply that by Zload and get this:

Zload*(i2/uin = expression2), which becomes
(Zload*i2)/uin=Zload*expression2, which becomes
uout/uin = Zload*expression2, which is the first thing your problem requires.

So go ahead and solve your two equations and see what you get.

Hi,

If you can use any analysis then you can just use Thevenin and Norton. It makes it so much easier.

To start, turn U1 into a current source:
I1=U1/Z1

and now we have a current source in parallel with three impedances:
1. Z1
2. Z3
3. Z2+ZL

that gives us the voltage Vn at the center node, from which we get the transfer function by just using the voltage divider formula on Z2 and ZL:
VL=Vn*ZL/(ZL+Z2)

See how easy that is?

Thanks for detailed explanation, I got following results and I hope they are correct :)
i1 = -(uin*(z3 - (z1 + z3)*(z2 + z3 + zL)))/((z1 + z3)^2*(z2 + z3 + zL))
i1/uin=-(z3 - (z1 + z3)*(z2 + z3 + zL))/((z1 + z3)^2*(z2 + z3 + zL))

i2 = (uin*z3*(- z3^2 + z3 + z2 + zL))/(z2 + z3 + zL)^2
i2/uin = (z3*(- z3^2 + z3 + z2 + zL))/(z2 + z3 + zL)^2

i2/i1 = -(z3*(z1 + z3)^2*(- z3^2 + z3 + z2 + zL))/((z3 - (z1 + z3)*(z2 + z3 + zL))*(z2 + z3 + zL))

uout/uin = (z3*zL*(- z3^2 + z3 + z2 + zL))/(z2 + z3 + zL)^2

These results are not correct. You had the correct transfer function in post #8. Something has gone wrong in your solution of the two equations.
You are correct, this calculation is way off. I realized too late the mistake I did. After fixing the mistake I again get same thing from post #8
so correct final thing is Uout/Uin=(Z3*ZL) / [ZL*(Z1+Z3)+Z3*(Z1+Z2)+Z1*Z2]

Thanks for help everyone.
