Sinusoidal Steady State Response of Linear Circuits Sinusoidal Steady State Response of Linear Circuits The circuit shown on Figure 1 is driven by a sinusoidal voltage source vs(t) of the form vtso()= vcos(ωt) (1.1) i(t) R +-vR(t) + vs(t) vc(t) C - Figure 1. Series RC circuit driven by a sinusoidal forcing function Our goal is to determine the voltages vc(t) and the current i(t) which will completely characterize the “Steady State” response of the circuit. The equation that describes the behavior of this circuit is obtained by applying KVL around the mesh. vtRc()+ v()t= vs(t) (1.2) Using the current voltage relationship of the resistor and the capacitor, Equation (1.2) becomes dv ()t RCvc +=()tvcos(ωt) (1.3) dt co Note that the coefficient RC has the unit of time. (Ohm)(Farad) → seconds Before proceeding with the solution of this differential equation let’s explore its physical significance. This linear circuit is driven (forced) by an independent sinusoidal source, vs(t). We may view its response (its effect on the circuit) as the superposition of the response with the source set equal to zero (source-free or natural response (vch(t)) ) and the forced response (vcp(t)). vtcc()= vh()t+ vcp(t) (1.4) 6.071/22.071 Spring 2006, Chaniotakis and Cory 1 Schematically the superposition is shown on Figure 2(a) and (b). R R + + vch(t) C vs(t) vcp(t) C - - (a) (b) Figure 2 In mathematical language we call these two responses the homogeneous solution (vch(t)) ) and the particular solution (vcp(t)) of the equation that characterizes the system (Equation (1.3) in our case) The homogeneous solution corresponds to the differential equation dv ()t RC ch + v ()t = 0 (1.5) dt ch And the particular solution to the equation dv ()t RCvcp +=()tvcos(ωt) (1.6) dt cp o The homogeneous solution (or the natural response of the system) has the form ⎡ −t ⎤ vtch ()= Bexp (1.7) ⎣⎢ RC ⎦⎥ The particular solution (or the forced response of the system) is the cosine function of amplitude A, frequency ω, and phase φ. vtcp ()= Acos(ωt+φ) (1.8) And so the general form of the system response is ⎡ −t ⎤ vtc ()=+Acos(ωφt )+Bexp (1.9) ⎣⎢ RC ⎦⎥ 6.071/22.071 Spring 2006, Chaniotakis and Cory 2 At this time let’s recall the problem statement which says that we are interested in obtaining the Steady State response of the system. This is equivalent to saying that the source vs(t) was connected to the system long time ago and all transient phenomena are gone. In order to be more precise, if the time t RC then the exponential term in Equation (1.9) would go to zero. In this case the observable and thus the important response of the system is the Steady State response which is given by vtc ()= Acos(ωt+φ) (1.10) We may now proceed to determine the details of the solution by calculating the amplitude A and the phase φ. To do this we substitute the form of the solution (Equation (1.10) ) into the differential Equation (1.3). Before we make that substitution lets use the trigonometric identities to expand Equation (1.10). vt()=+Acos(ωt φ) c (1.11) =−Atcosφ cos(ωφ) Asin sin(ωt) And the corresponding derivative dv c =−Aω cosφωsin( tA) − ωsinφcos(ωt) (1.12) dt Substituting Equations (1.11) and (1.12) into Equation (1.3) we have −−Atω cosφωsin()Aωsinφcos()ωt+ 1 v (1.13) [Atcosφ cos()ωφ−=Asinsin()ωt]0 cos(ωt) RCRC Collecting the coefficients of cos(ωt) and sin(ωt) we have the following equations for the unknowns A and φ. A −Aωφcos −sinφ=0 (1.14) RC A v −+Aωφsin cosφ=0 (1.15) RCRC These equations are independent and thus they may be solved simultaneously for A and φ. 6.071/22.071 Spring 2006, Chaniotakis and Cory 3 From Equation (1.14) we obtain the phase φ =arctan (−RC ω) (1.16) and A becomes v A = o (1.17) cosφ −ωφRC sin Therefore, the Steady State response of the system is v vt()=o cos(ωt+φ ) (1.18) c cosφω− RC sinφ whereφω=arctan ()−RC Figure 3 shows a plot of the phase and the amplitude ratio Av/ o as a function of the dimensionless parameter ωRC .

For ω = 0 (dc signal) the phase φ = 0 and the amplitude A= vo . The voltage across the capacitor is constant. No current flows in the circuit The capacitor behaves as an open circuit.

Apply KVL around the mesh di()t vt()=+i()tR L (1.21) s dt With vs(t) of the form vtso( ) = vcos(ωt) , Equation (1.21) becomes di()t R v +=it() 0 cos(ωt) (1.22) dt L L L Henry The coefficient is a time constant. → seconds R Ohm Here again we are interested in the behavior of the system for times that are long L compared to the time constant . In this scenario the only contribution to the solution is R again the one forced by the sinusoidal source voltage vtso( ) = vcos(ωt) . And the form of the forced response solution is it()=+Acos(ωt φ) (1.23) =−Acosφ cos()ωφtAsinsin()ωt di()t =−Aω cosφωsin( tA) − ωsinφcos(ωt) (1.24) dt Substituting back into the differential equation (1.22) we get 6.071/22.071 Spring 2006, Chaniotakis and Cory 8 −−Atω cosφωsin()Aωsinφcos()ωt+ R v (1.25) [Atcosφ cos(ωφ) −=Asin sin(ωt)]0 cos(ωt) LL We now separate the cosine and sine functional forms of the solution since they are independent contributions.

  • ECE 255, MOSFET Basic Configurations
    ECE 255, MOSFET Basic Configurations 8 March 2018 In this lecture, we will go back to Section 7.3, and the basic configurations of MOSFET amplifiers will be studied similar to that of BJT. Previously, it has been shown that with the transistor DC biased at the appropriate point (Q point or operating point), linear relations can be derived between the small voltage signal and current signal. We will continue this analysis with MOSFETs, starting with the common-source amplifier. 1 Common-Source (CS) Amplifier The common-source (CS) amplifier for MOSFET is the analogue of the common- emitter amplifier for BJT. Its popularity arises from its high gain, and that by cascading a number of them, larger amplification of the signal can be achieved. 1.1 Chararacteristic Parameters of the CS Amplifier Figure 1(a) shows the small-signal model for the common-source amplifier. Here, RD is considered part of the amplifier and is the resistance that one measures between the drain and the ground. The small-signal model can be replaced by its hybrid-π model as shown in Figure 1(b). Then the current induced in the output port is i = −gmvgs as indicated by the current source. Thus vo = −gmvgsRD (1.1) By inspection, one sees that Rin = 1; vi = vsig; vgs = vi (1.2) Thus the open-circuit voltage gain is vo Avo = = −gmRD (1.3) vi Printed on March 14, 2018 at 10 : 48: W.C.

  • First-Order Circuits
    CHAPTER SIX FIRST-ORDER CIRCUITS Chapters 2 to 5 have been devoted exclusively to circuits made of resistors and independent sources. The resistors may contain two or more terminals and may be linear or nonlinear, time-varying or time-invariant. We have shown that these resistive circuits are always governed by algebraic equations. In this chapter, we introduce two new circuit elements, namely, two- terminal capacitors and inductors. We will see that these elements differ from resistors in a fundamental way: They are lossless, and therefore energy is not dissipated but merely stored in these elements. A circuit is said to be dynamic if it includes some capacitor(s) or some inductor(s) or both. In general, dynamic circuits are governed by differential equations. In this initial chapter on dynamic circuits, we consider the simplest subclass described by only one first-order differential equation-hence the name first-order circuits. They include all circuits containing one 2-terminal capacitor (or inductor), plus resistors and independent sources. The important concepts of initial state, equilibrium state, and time constant allow us to find the solution of any first-order linear time-invariant circuit driven by dc sources by inspection (Sec. 3.1). Students should master this material before plunging into the following sections where the inspection method is extended to include linear switching circuits in Sec. 4 and piecewise- linear circuits in Sec. 5. Here,-the important concept of a dynamic route plays a crucial role in the analysis of piecewise-linear circuits by inspection. l TWO-TERMINAL CAPACITORS AND INDUCTORS Many devices cannot be modeled accurately using only resistors.

  • Chapter 2: Kirchhoff Law and the Thvenin Theorem
    Chapter 3: Capacitors, Inductors, and Complex Impedance Chapter 3: Capacitors, Inductors, and Complex Impedance In this chapter we introduce the concept of complex resistance, or impedance, by studying two reactive circuit elements, the capacitor and the inductor. We will study capacitors and inductors using differential equations and Fourier analysis and from these derive their impedance. Capacitors and inductors are used primarily in circuits involving time-dependent voltages and currents, such as AC circuits. I. AC Voltages and circuits Most electronic circuits involve time-dependent voltages and currents. An important class of time-dependent signal is the sinusoidal voltage (or current), also known as an AC signal (Alternating Current). Kirchhoff’s laws and Ohm’s law still apply (they always apply), but one must be careful to differentiate between time-averaged and instantaneous quantities. An AC voltage (or signal) is of the form: V(t) =Vp cos(ωt) (3.1) where ω is the angular frequency, Vp is the amplitude of the waveform or the peak voltage and t is the time. The angular frequency is related to the freguency (f) by ω=2πf and the period (T) is related to the frequency by T=1/f. Other useful voltages are also commonly defined. They include the peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp) which is twice the amplitude and the RMS voltage (VRMS) which is VVRMS = p / 2 . Average power in a resistive AC device is computed using RMS quantities: P=IRMSVRMS = IpVp/2. (3.2) This is important enough that voltmeters and ammeters in AC mode actually return the RMS values for current and voltage.

For lower output level, these amplifiers are very inefficient. This is the major shortcoming in recent wireless applications with an adaptive power design; where the desired output power is a function of the bit-error rate, channel characteristics, modulation schemes, etc. Such applications require the power amplifier to have an optimum performance not only at the peak output level, but also across the adaptive power range. An adaptive biasing topology is proposed and implemented in the design of a power amplifier intended for use in the WiGLAN (Wireless Gigabits per second Local Area Network) project.

    LINEAR CIRCUIT ANALYSIS (EED) – U.E.T. TAXILA 05 ENGR. M. MANSOOR ASHRAF INTRODUCTION After learning the basic laws and theorems for circuit analysis, an active element of paramount importance may be studied. This active element is known as operational amplifier, or op amp for short. The op amp is a versatile circuit building block. The Op Amp is an electronic unit that behaves like a voltage-controlled voltage source. It may also be current-controlled current source. INTRODUCTION An op amp can sum signals, amplify a signal, integrate it, or differentiate it. The ability of the op amp to perform these mathematical operations is the reason it is called operational amplifier. The op amps are extensively used in analog circuit design. Op amps are popular in practical circuit designs because they are versatile, inexpensive and easy to use. OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS An Op Amp is an active element designed to performs mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, integration and differentiation. The op amp is an electronic device consisting of a complex arrangement of resistors, capacitors, transistors and diodes. A full discussion of what is inside the op amp is beyond the scope of this book. Here op amp is studied as an active circuit element and what takes place at its terminals. OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS Op amps are commercially available in integrated circuit packages in several forms. A typical one is the eight-pin dual-in-line package (DIP). Pin configuration; OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS The circuit symbol and description of pins, is shown; Op amp has two inputs (pin 2, 3) and one output (pin 6).

Haddara NUMBER OF PAGES: XXV, 139 ii Abstract Over the past few decades, wireless communication systems have experienced rapid advances that demand continuous improvements in wireless transceiver architecture, efficiency and power capabilities. Since the most power consuming block in a transceiver is the power amplifier, it is considered one of the most challenging blocks to design, and thus, it has attracted considerable research interests. However, very little work has addressed low-power designs since most previous research work focused on higher­ power applications. Short-range transceivers are increasingly gaining interest with the emerging low-power wireless applications that have very strict requirements on the size, weight and power consumption of the system. This thesis deals with designing fully-integrated RF power amplifiers with low output power levels as a first step to improving the efficiency of RF transceivers in a 0.18 J.Lm standard CMOS technology.

Meyer, Chair Linear power amplifiers (PAs) are becoming widely used in modern wireless com- munication systems. The envelope of the signals in these systems is typically not constant, so that the PA design must address the issue of device nonlinearity in order to limit the amount of spectral regrowth, which can cause unacceptable levels of interference in the adjacent channels. This research focuses on a new computational method for efficiently analyzing the relationship between spectral regrowth and physical distortion mechanisms in radio fre- quency power amplifiers. It utilizes a Volterra series model whose coefficients are computed from basic SPICE parameters. The analysis uses a decomposition of the Volterra kernels into simpler subsystems in order to greatly reduce the computation time.
