Higher Order Circuits How To Obtain State Equations

Higher Order Circuits – How To Obtain State Equations? Consider a circuit with capacitor, inductors, n-terminal resistors and independent sources. Aim is to obtain state equations in the following form: state variables output variables input variables Method: - some capacitor voltages and some inductor currents (mostly all) - currents and voltages under consideration - values for independent sources Step 1: Draw the circuit graph and choose an appropriate tree: a-) Choose voltage sources as twigs, if tree is not completed continue with (b). b-) Choose capacitors as twigs (you may have to exclude some capacitors), if tree is not completed continue with (c). c-) Choose current-controlled edges of resistors as twigs, if tree is not completed continue with (d).

d-) choose inductors as twigs. Step 2: Determine the state variables: capacitor voltages in twigs and inductor currents in chords. Write element equations for state variables: Step 3: Calculate state equations: Write linearly independent current equations: KCL’s for fundamental cut-sets Write linearly independent voltage equations: KVL’s for fundamental loops Using these equations obtain currents of capacitors in twigs and voltages of inductors in chords in terms of state variables and inputs. Which elements are these?
