Two Coupled RC Loops
Draw the block diagram for the circuit shown in Figure 9.6.7. This circuit was analyzed in Example 6.3.1. The input is v_{s} and the output is v_{o}.

Learn more on how we answer questions.
From equation (6) in Example 6.3.1
\frac{d v_{1}}{d t} = \frac{1}{RC} (v_{s} − 2v_{1} + v_{o})
This gives
(RCs + 2)V_{1}(s) = V_{s}(s) + V_{o}(s)
or
V_{1}(s) = \frac{1}{RCs + 2} [V_{s}(s) + V_{o}(s)] (1)
From equation (3) in Example 6.3.1
\frac{d v_{o}}{d t} = \frac{1}{RC} (v_{1} − v_{o})
This gives
(RCs + 1)V_{1}(s) = V_{1}(s)
or
V_{0}(s) = \frac{1}{RCs + 1} V_{1}(s) (2)
Equations (1) and (2) form the basis of the block diagram shown in Figure 9.6.8. The diagram can be reduced to find the transfer function, which is
\frac{V_{o}(s)}{V_{s}(s)} = \frac{1}{R^{2} C^{2} s^{2} + 3RCs + 1}
