### Root Locus, Transfer Functions and Unit Step Response?

Consider the generic feedback loop, and the transfer function $G(s)$ shown by the following root locus plot. Where $\mathbf{x}$ denotes the open-loop poles and $\square$ denotes the closed loop poles....

### transfer function of a sampler in the s domain

I would like to modelize my whole system into the S-domain. This is a mixed system, there a numerical part (corrector, ADC, DAC) and an analogic part (plant transfer function, sensors, etc...). I know ...

### Discrete time Final Value Theorem applied to feedback system

I wish to calculate the Final Value of systems in which a high pass filter of the output feeds back into the input. A simple example would be: where is a 1st order high pass filter with transfer ...

### Moving from deterministic signals to stochastic signals in s-domain (Power Spectral Density)

Assume we have the following system (coming from control systems theory, hence in s-domain) $Y(s) = H_A (s) \cdot A(s) - H_B (s) \cdot B(s)$ I now wish to consider $a(t)$ and $b(t)$ as white noise ...

### Inverting a sampled system

I'm doing some self-study for an upcoming exam and came across the following question: My first idea to solve it was using the bilinear transform to get some approximation of $H(Z)$ (or just using ...

### Why is Fourier space not adequate for (theoretical or digital) filters?

As far as I have seen, almost all theoretical filter design occurs in Laplace or Z-space. Also, there is a pervasive connection to real life analog filters in the design. If one is just thinking in a ...

### How to I get transfer function?

there is a ODE $dx/dt-ax(t)=u(t)$ Firstly, I have to find the transfer function $u$ to $x$ using exponential input. So I put $u(t)=e^{st}$ to the ODE, and I got $x(t)=x(0)e^{at}+1/(s-a)e^{st}$. In ...

### Confusion in property of Z transform of ideal sampled waveform

I was reading about z transfom of ideal sampled signals and one of the properties of Z transform of sampled signal that surprised me,here it is (image) So here this property of Z transform is quite ...

### Real impulse response

It will be great if someone can explain me what exactly means "real impulse response". Further more , what is the effect of such a response on ROC (Laplace plane) and in particular if its ...

### Fourier Transform of an Exponential Sine Sweep

The Exponential Sine Sweep (ESS), according to Farina [1], can be described by the following formula: $$x(t)=\sin\left(\frac{2\pi f_1 T}{R}\left(e^{\frac{t R}{T}} -1\right) \right)$$ where, $t$ - ...

### Confusion in initial condition of differential equation using Laplace transform transform

I'm confused in solving linear constant coefficients differential equations (LCCDEs) by Laplace transform if initial conditions are given at time just before $t=0$ just after $t=0$ exactly at $t=0$ ...

### Impulse response if initial conditions are given

In most books, impulse response of LTI systems are calculated by assuming initial rest condition, but how to calculate response of an impulse input if there are some initial conditions present ? My ...

### How can I find the transfer function of the following block diagram?

I've the following image and I want to find the transfer function from input $x(t)$ to output $y(t)$. I know that I have to apply Laplace Transform, so the integrator becomes $\dfrac{1}{s}$, but I don'...

### Compute output given input, transfer function and initial conditions

The problem statement is Consider a causal LTI system whose transfer function $H(s)$ is given as $$H(s)=\frac{s+2}{(s+3)(s+4)}$$ Compute the output $y(t)$ for an input $x(t)=e^{-2t}u(t)$ when $y(0)=1$...

### Names of system functions in frequency domain

I was just trying to refresh my systems theory known from long ago, and I realized that I had forgetten the name of the basic functions. Specifically, what are the names of these functions ...
