Question

A second order system has natural frequency 3rad/sec and unity damping ratio. Identify its transfer function.

The correct answer is \(\frac{9}{{{s^2} + 6s + 9}}\)

System Transfer Function Derivation

To identify the transfer function of a second-order system, we need to recall its standard form. The standard transfer function for a second-order system is given by:

$$ G(s) = \frac{\omega_n^2}{s^2 + 2\zeta\omega_n s + \omega_n^2} $$

Where:

  • \( \omega_n \) is the natural frequency of the system.
  • \( \zeta \) is the damping ratio of the system.

Given System Parameters

The question provides us with the following parameters for the second-order system:

  • Natural frequency (\( \omega_n \)): 3 rad/sec
  • Damping ratio (\( \zeta \)): Unity (which means \( \zeta = 1 \))

Calculating the Transfer Function

Now, we will substitute these given values of \( \omega_n \) and \( \zeta \) into the standard second-order system transfer function formula:

$$ G(s) = \frac{(3)^2}{s^2 + 2(1)(3)s + (3)^2} $$

Let's perform the calculations for each term:

  • Numerator: \( \omega_n^2 = (3)^2 = 9 \)
  • Coefficient of \( s \) in the denominator: \( 2\zeta\omega_n = 2(1)(3) = 6 \)
  • Constant term in the denominator: \( \omega_n^2 = (3)^2 = 9 \)

Substituting these calculated values back into the formula, we get the transfer function:

$$ G(s) = \frac{9}{s^2 + 6s + 9} $$

Comparing with Options

Let's compare our derived transfer function with the given options to identify the correct one:

Option Transfer Function Match
1 \( \frac{1}{{{s^2} + 3s + 9}} \) No
2 \( \frac{9}{{{s^2} + 2s + 9}} \) No
3 \( \frac{9}{{{s^2} + 6s + 9}} \) Yes
4 \( \frac{3}{{{s^2} + 3s + 3}} \) No

Based on the comparison, the calculated transfer function \( \frac{9}{s^2 + 6s + 9} \) perfectly matches Option 3.
