FREQUENCY RESPONSE
What is Frequency Response of a Circuit?
It is the variation in a circuit’s
behavior with change in signal
frequency and may also be
considered as the variation of the gain
and phase with frequency.

TRANSFER FUNCTION
The transfer function H() of a circuit is the is the frequency dependent ratio of the
phasor output Y() to a phasor input X().
 Considered input and output may be either the current or the voltage variable.
 4 types of possible transfer functions.

The frequency value of o is of special interest.
 Because output is considerable only at low values of frequency, the circuit is also
called a LOW PASS FILTER.

TRANSFER FUNCTION
 The transfer function H() can be expressed in terms of its numerator polynomial
N() and its denominator polynomial D().
N ( )
H ( ) 
D( )
 The roots of N()=0 are called ZEROS of H() (j=z1, z2, z3, ….).
Similarly The roots of D()=0 are called POLES of H() (j=p1, p2, p3, ….).
A zero as a root of the numerator polynomial, results in a zero value of the transfer
function. A pole as a root of the denominator polynomial, results in an infinite value
of the transfer function.
