I have been trying to get the transfer function of the circuit below for some days now and I eventually get to an expression but I don't believe I am geting the correct expression and here's why (the words "Circuito" translate directly to "circuit"):
Ignore the dotted lines, those are meant to guide the analysis. I have tried to get an expression by using the superposition of the two circuits that the dotted lines enclose. So I would have:
VoutA=(1+R5R4)Vin
and the total response at the opamp would then be: Vout=VoutA+VoutB=(Vin+R2R2+R3V+5)(1+R5R4)
Finnaly at the passage through the RC filter it would be:
Vout=(Vin+R2R2+R3V+5)(1+R5R4)11+jωR6C3
when left in complex form. To get something to work with I wrote:
|Vout|=|(Vin+R2R2+R3V+5)(1+R5R4)|1√1+(2πfR6C3)2
ϕ=−arctan(2πfR6C3)
However, when I use this expressions, and I fix the values of R1,R2,R4 o 1kOhm, R6 to 12kOhm, C1=1uF, C2=100uF and C3=150nF The values I get for a resistance in the places of the potentiometer are R3=5100Ohm and R5=2500Ohm when Vin is a 0.8V sinusoidal signal and Vout will be a 2.5V sinusoidal signal with a 2.5V offset. But in practice I had to use a 20k potentiometer in R5 and a 10k for R3 so My intuition is that my expression is wrong, and the simulations in multisim also point in that direction. Where is my mistake?
PS: This circuit as appeared in two other questions here in the stack but I am a bit desperate to get a correct answer and its killing me not knowing where my mistake is.
Answer
Because of the fact that $R_3$ is a potentiometer. It is much more complicated than you think. And to simplify the equations, you should pick $R_3 << R_2$. Or add a voltage follower between POT wiper and $R_2$
Then we can write the equation for the voltage at the non-inverting input:
VNI=V1R1R1+R2+VINR2R1+R2
Or if we include the POT in the equation:
VNI=αV+5R1R1+(1−α)αR3+R2+VIN(1−α)αR3+R2R1+(1−α)αR3+R2
Where: $\alpha =$ POT wiper position from 0 to 1.
And since $R_3$ POT is supplied from a DC voltage it will create a DC offset at the op-amp output.
Equal to Voffset=αV+5R1R1+(1−α)αR3+R2(1+α5R5R4)
Where $\alpha_5 =$ is a $R_5$ POT wiper position from 0 to 1.
All this means that if for example, the DC offset at the op-amp output is set by $R_3$ to $2.5V$.
Then the op-amp output voltage will be:
VO=2.5V+VIN(1+α5R5R4)
So, now you got all the information needed to solve your problem.
