Homework Statement



Here is the transfer function of a buck converter I derived:

Transfer function equation: v_o over d-tilde equals V_in over LC times (1 + srC) divided by (s squared + s(1/RC + r/L) + 1/LC).


What I need to do next is obtain equations for w0 and ζ. I know how to do this for equations that follow the general form:

Transfer function of a second-order low-pass filter: H_LP(s) = A0 times omega0 squared over s squared plus 2 zeta omega0 s plus omega0 squared.


But in this case I just can't figure out exactly how to do it. How do I find a value for w0 that satisfies both the 3rd term in the denominator and the numerator?

The Attempt at a Solution



I've tried a bit of algebraic manipulation using different values for w0 but without much luck. I know -- I hate to ask for help without showing any of my own work -- but I'd actually rather just be pointed into the right direction with this. It's something I've never really been able to do, and google searches on the subject were always useless because the transfer functions examples start with follow the generic form shown above.

Thanks.
 
Maybe you'll have to split the transfer function. Like 1 + sRC as (1/Den) + (sRC/Den) and then proceed. Just a guess.
