Finding a Transfer Function using Laplace

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the transfer function of a circuit using Laplace transforms to facilitate Bode plot creation. The user presents equations derived from Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) for both loops in the circuit. They express concern about their calculated transfer function, H(s), which results in H(s) = 5000/(3(s+5000)). A potential error is identified in the impedance calculation for the capacitor, suggesting that the value used may be incorrect. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurate impedance values in deriving the correct transfer function.

I'm trying to find the Transfer function of the circuit below so that I can draw the Bode plot for it. I chose to use Laplace because I think it made it a little simpler.

My equations so far:

KVL of Left Loop: EQUATION1
Vs=I1(900+1800)-900I2

KVL of Right Loop: EQUATION2
0=((2E6)/s+400+900)I2-900I1

EQUATION3
Vo=I2*(2E6)/s

Rearranging EQUATION2 gives:
I1=(1/900)((2E6)/s +1300)I2
Substitute this back into EQUATION1 to get Vs in terms of I2 and s.

When I do:
H(s)= Vo/Vs
I get:
H(s)= 5000/(3(s+5000))

Which I'm pretty sure is wrong.

I think you'll want to check the math for your capacitor impedance; 1/(50E-6) is not 2E6.
