Study Notes

Laplace Transforms

  • Laplace Transforms (LT) are a powerful tool for converting differential equations into algebraic equations.
  • LT converts time-domain signals into the frequency domain.
  • LT converts differential equations in the time domain to algebraic equations in the frequency domain.

Definition of Laplace Transform

  • The Laplace transform of a time function x(t) is defined as: L[x(t)] = X(s) = ∫0∞ x(t)e-st dt
  • Where 's' is a complex variable and s = σ + jw
    • σ is the real part of s
    • jw is the imaginary part of s
  • Two sided / bilateral transform takes into account the entire range of input signal (–∞ to ∞).
  • One sided / unilateral transform uses the range of the input signal from 0 to ∞.

Region of Convergence (ROC)

  • The ROC is the set of 's' values for which the Laplace transform integral converges.
  • A signal has a Laplace transform only if the ROC exists.
  • Bilateral Laplace transforms of a signal x(t) exists if ∫-∞∞|x(t)|e-σt dt is finite.
  • ROC is a region in the s-plane.

Existence of Laplace Transform

  • The signal x(t) must be continuous over a given closed interval.
  • x(t)e-st must be absolutely integrable.

Advantages of Laplace Transform

  • Signals that do not converge in the Fourier transform (FT) may converge in the Laplace transform (LT).

Convolution Theorem

  • Convolution in the time domain is equivalent to multiplication in the frequency domain.

Limitations of Laplace Transform

  • Frequency response cannot be directly estimated.
  • Only pole-zero plot can be presented.
  • 's = jw' is used only in sinusoidal steady-state analysis.

Impulse Signal δ(t)

  • Impulse (delta) function δ(t) is defined as: δ(t) = 1, for t = 0 δ(t) = 0, for t ≠ 0
  • The L[δ(t)] = 1

Step Signal u(t)

  • The unit step function u(t) is defined as: u(t) = 1, for t ≥ 0 u(t) = 0, for t < 0
  • L[u(t)] = 1/s for Re(s) >0
  • The ROC is the entire right-half of the s-plane.

Ramp Signal t u(t)

  • L[t u(t)] = 1/s2, Re(s) > 0
  • ROC is the entire right-half of the s-plane.

Exponential Signal eat u(t)

  • L[eatu(t)] = 1/(s - a), Re(s) > a
  • The ROC is the region with Re(s) > a.

Complex Exponential Signal ejwt u(t)

  • L[ejwt u(t)] = 1/(s - jw), Re(s) > 0
  • The ROC is the entire right-half of the s-plane

Sine and Cosine Signals

  • L[ sin(ωt) u(t)] = ω/(s2 + ω2)

  • L[ cos(ωt) u(t)] = s / (s2 + ω2)

Additional Notes

  • Multiple signals with different exponential terms

    • These can be combined to form a single result using the linearity of Laplace Transform.

  • The ROC of the combined signal should be found using the ROC rules.
