functionality of the capacitor

Started by jyothsna gandham February 17, 2004

Hello all,

I am trying to learn simulink  and currently trying to find out the functionality of the capacitor by taking a sine wave as the input for a continous signal.

Can anyone suggest me how to proceed with this.

Thanking you

For circuit that looks like this:

sine wave ___/\/\/\_______ <---output
|
__|__
-----

Write this difference equation:

y[n] = a*x[n] + b*y[n-1]

where a + b = 1 to maintain unity gain and b/a is the time-constant.

The cap is connected to the output pin, not the source. The resistor is
connected to
the source.

The diagram shows a lowpass filter -- switch the R and C and it becomes a
highpass
filter. I assumed that Jyothsna could use a lowpass filter in her studies.

Hello Everybody,

The question is that Jyothsna wants to model the functionality in Simulink
with continuous states. In that case it might be a good idea to solve the system
transfer function using Laplace Transforms and then use the Transfer Function
block in the Simulink-->Continuous library. I am attaching a model of a resistor
and capacitor in series loop with a source of 3V, frequency 10 Hz, V/R = 1 and
1/RC = 1. The scope shows the plot of input voltage (magenta colour) and the
current (white colour) in the circuit. You may change the transfer function as
you wish. This is just to give a hint and the values taken are hypothetical.

Cheers,

-Snehamoy
