Transfer Function Analysis Low-Frequency Response Transfer Function Analysis and Dominant Pole Approximation Example Problem: Find midband gain, FL(s) and fL for Analysis: Rearranging the given transfer function to get it in standard form, Now, Zeros are at s = 0 and s = -100. Poles are at s = -10, s =-1000 All pole and zero frequencies are low and separated by at least a decade. Dominant pole is at w = 1000 and fL = 1000/2p = 159 Hz. For frequencies a few rad/s: High-Frequency Response Direct Determination of Low-Frequency Poles and Zeros: C-S Amplifier Direct Determination of Low-Frequency Poles and Zeros: C-S Amplifier (cont.) The three zero locations are: s = 0, 0, -1/(RS C3). The three pole locations are: Each independent capacitor in the circuit contributes one pole and one zero. Series capacitors C1 and C2 contribute the two zeros at s =
