How to Derive the Transfer Function for a Circuit in LTspice?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the transfer function for a circuit using LTspice, a simulation software. The user expresses curiosity about the transfer function after creating Bode plots, typically not a concern when building amplifiers. They present a basic formula for the transfer function, H = Y/X, where Y and X represent the Laplace transforms of the output and input signals, respectively. The user mentions the need to account for the inner resistance of a triode and shares their initial attempts at defining X(s) and Y(s) based on circuit components. The conversation seeks guidance on accurately deriving these functions for the specified circuit configuration.

I'm tinkering with a software called LTspice. The user can insert circuits and simulate them. After doing some Bode plots I started to wonder what the transfer function looked like. I usually don't bother about this when I build amplifiers, but this LTspice software got me curious.

I looked through some old note I have and came up with this, sort of.

H = Y/X
Where Y(s) is the laplace tranformation of y(t), likewise for x(t) and in-signal.
Impedance of a capacitor Z_c = \frac{1}{i ω C} and the resistor Z_R = R. I guess the impedances should be written with iω = s if a proper Laplace tranformation is to be done.

Can anyone show me how to derive Y and X for this circuit:

I forgot the inner resistance of the triode/tube. The inner resistance is between the input connection and the top/plate connection.

My fumbling attempts:
\displaystyle X(s) = \frac{\frac{R_c+\frac{1}{sC}}{R_c \frac{1}{sC}}+R_c}{\left( \frac{R_c+\frac{1}{sC}}{R_c \frac{1}{sC}} \right)R_c}


Y(s) = \frac{R_c+\frac{1}{sC}}{R_c\frac{1}{sC}}+r_a
 
Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
