thumb|Active filter ... find transfer function
Start with writing a node equation:
But the last expression for io could have also been written using C2. And we need to eliminate Vnode. So our second equation is associated with the feedback resistor:
Now these two equations can be solved for Vo/Vin:
solve([(vin-vnode)/r1 - vnode*s*c1 - (vnode-vout)/r3 - vnode/r2, vnode/r2 - (0-vout*s*c2)],[vout,vin])
The transfer function is going to be the ratio of Vout/Vin so:
vout := -vnode/(c2*r2*s)
vin := (vnode*(r1 + c2*r1*r2*s + c2*r1*r3*s + c2*r2*r3*s + c1*c2*r1*r2*r3*s^2))/(c2*r2*r3*s);
vout/vin
-r3/(r1 + c2*r1*r2*s + c2*r1*r3*s + c2*r2*r3*s + c1*c2*r1*r2*r3*s^2)
Yields this:
Which looks like a low pass filter (inverted because of the op amp).
