General Case
The transfer function of any filter connected as shown in the diagram above is given by the expression
where
Note that Vi is the nominal voltage that would be delivered by the generator if it were terminated in its characteristic impedance (i.e. R1), not the actual voltage appearing at the input terminals of the filter.
It can further be noted that the first part of the expression,
- ,
is the same as the expression for the transfer function without taking into account the end terminations. The second part of the expression is thus that part of the response caused by the mismatched impedances;

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or case:
“Pleasure is necessarily reciprocal; no one feels it who does not at the same time give it. To be pleased, one must please. What pleases you in others, will in general please them in you.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The attention of those who frequent the camp-meetings at Eastham is said to be divided between the preaching of the Methodists and the preaching of the billows on the back side of the Cape, for they all stream over here in the course of their stay. I trust that in this case the loudest voice carries it. With what effect may we suppose the ocean to say, “My hearers!” to the multitude on the bank. On that side some John N. Maffit; on this, the Reverend Poluphloisboios Thalassa.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
