Block diagram of a closed-loop system
Referring to the above figure, it can be found that
𝐶(𝑠)
𝑂𝑝𝑒𝑛 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑝 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑓𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = 𝐺(𝑠) = … … … … … … . (1)
𝐸(𝑠)
However, to find the closed-loop transfer function for the above figure the output
C(s) and input R(s) are related as follows:
𝐶 (𝑠 ) = 𝐺 (𝑠 )𝐸 (𝑠 ) … … … … … … … … . (2)
𝐵 (𝑠 ) = 𝐻 (𝑠 ) 𝐶 (𝑠 ) … … … … … … … … . (3)
𝐸 (𝑠) = 𝑅(𝑠) − 𝐵(𝑠) … … … … … … … (4)
By substituting equation (3) and (4) in equation (2):
𝐶 (𝑠) = 𝐺 (𝑠)[𝑅(𝑠) − 𝐻 (𝑠)𝐶 (𝑠)]
𝐶 (𝑠) = 𝐺 (𝑠)𝑅(𝑠) − 𝐺 (𝑠)𝐻 (𝑠)𝐶(𝑠)
𝐶 (𝑠){1 + 𝐺 (𝑠)𝐻 (𝑠)} = 𝐺 (𝑠)𝑅(𝑠)
𝐶(𝑠) 𝐺(𝑠)
∴ 𝐶𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑝 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑓𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = =
𝑅(𝑠) 1 + 𝐺(𝑠)𝐻(𝑠)
