First Order Transfer Functions Exercises
1. A first order system, as a differential equation, has the form
.
Use Laplace transforms to obtain the transfer function for the system. 2. In the handout on Transfer Functions, an RC circuit, as illustrated in the following diagram,
Vi(t)
V0(t)
has the transfer function
Determine the time constant T of the system. If Laplace transforms to determine the output . 3.
is the unit step function, use
Find the DC gain and the time constant for the following transfer functions
