Question 1 |
The transfer function of a real system, H(s), is given as:
H(s)=\frac{As+B}{s^2+Cs+D}
where A, B, C and D are positive constants. This system cannot operate as

an integrator. |
Question 1 Explanation:
Put s=0, H(0)=\frac{A \times 0+B}{0+C \times 0+D}=\frac{B}{D}
So, the system pass low frequency component. Put s=\infty , H(\infty )=0
For high pass filter, high frequency component should be non zero. Hence this system cannot be operated as high pass filter.

Hence, V_{out}=-V_{EE}

From circuit,
\begin{aligned} V_{out} &=-\frac{1}{C_1}\int I\cdot dt \\ &= -\frac{1}{R_1C_1}\int 0 \cdot 1dt \\ \\ &=-\frac{0.1}{R_1C_1}\int dt \\ \\ &= -\frac{0.1}{R_1C_1}t \end{aligned}

Hence, V_{out}=-V_{EE}
