16.1 Introduction
A system is a mathematical model of a
physical process relating the input to the
output.

16.2 Circuit Element Models

Steps in Applying the Laplace Transform:


1. Transform the circuit from the time domain to
the s-domian.
2. Solve the circuit using nodal analysis, mesh
analysis, source transformation, superposition, or
any circuit analysis technique.
3. Take the inverse transform of the solution and
thus obtain the solution in the time domain.

16.3 Circuit Analysis


Remember, equivalent circuits, with
capacitors and inductors, only exist in the sdomain; they cannot be transformed back into
the time domain.

Consider the circuit in
Fig. 16.12(a). Find the
value of the voltage
across the capacitor
assuming that the value of
vs(t) = 10u(t) V and
assume that at t = 0, -1 A
flows through the
inductor and +5 V is
across the capacitor.

Steps to Apply the State Variable


Method to Circuit Analysis:
1. Select the inductor current i and capacitor voltage v
as the state variables, making sure they are
consistent with the passive sign convention.
2. Applying KCL and KVL to the circuit and obtain
circuit variables (voltage and currents) in terms of
the state variables. This should lead to a set of firstorder differential equations necessary and sufficient
to determine all state variables.
3. Obtain the output equation and put the final result
in state-space representation.
