How to Find and Sketch the Transfer Function for a Filter?

Click For Summary
To find the transfer function for the given filter, the transfer function is defined as H(iω) = Uout(ω)/Uin(ω), where Uout(ω) = IZ. The impedance Z is derived from the equation 1/Z = 1/(R + iωL) + 1/(iωC), leading to a complex expression for H(iω). There is a correction needed in the calculation, specifically regarding the treatment of the capacitive impedance, which should be expressed as 1/ZC rather than summing L and C directly. The final result is confirmed to be a valid voltage divider for impedances, applicable in this context.

Homework Statement


Find the transfer function for the filter on the attached picture and sketch it in Bode diagram, if you know ##Q_0 =\frac{\omega _0L}{R}>>1## and ##\omega _0^2=\frac{1}{LC}##.

The Attempt at a Solution


If I am not mistaken, we defined the transfer function as $$H(i\omega )=\frac{U_{out}(\omega )}{U_{in}(\omega )}$$
where ##U_{out}(\omega )=IZ##. $$\frac 1 Z =\frac{1}{R+i\omega L}+\frac{1}{i\omega C}$$ $$Z=\frac{-\omega ^2 LC + i\omega RC}{R+i\omega (L+C)}$$ So finally $$H(i\omega )=\frac{U_{out}(\omega )}{U_{in}(\omega )}=\frac{Z}{Z+R}=\frac{-\omega ^2LC+iR\omega C}{R^2-\omega ^2LC+i\omega R(L+2C)}$$ But I highly suspect this is wrong from the very start. I have no idea how to solve this kind of problems.

The calculation is almost right. Your expression for Z can't be right because it involves summing L and C, which you can't do because they don't have the same units. In your first expression for 1/Z, you're adding ZC instead of 1/ZC.

Thank you!

Well, the end result is not that important (Except that ##1/Z_c## part, that is important). I was just not sure if this: $$H(i\omega )=\frac{U_{out}(\omega )}{U_{in}(\omega )}=\frac{Z}{Z+R}$$ is right. I did the rest of the calculations using Mathematica.
 
Yeah, that's fine. That's just a plain-old voltage divider. It holds for impedances, not just resistances.
