Laplace almost identical

Impulse Response of RC circuit - time
domain
 It has already been shown the the frequency
response of the RC circuit is given by H(ω ) = 1/
(1+jω RC)
 Using Fourier Transform tables it can then be
shown that the impulse response of an RC circuit is
h(t)=(1/RC) e-t/RC

 The impulse response of the RC circuit can be


though of as a damped sinusoid with a frequency
of zero. This implies that a pole exists on s-plane.
 Where is the pole situated on the s-plane?

Pole Position for RC circuit
 The impulse response of the RC circuit is
h(t)=e-t/RC
 There is no oscillating frequency
component, so ω =0. The pole is therefore
be positioned on the real axis of the
simplified s-plane representation.

H(s) =
 Proof: RC (s + 1/RC)
 Pole occurs when |H(s)| = ∞, i.e. s = -1/RC
 No imaginary term
 Pole always on LHS of s-plane since R and C
always positive (System stable or unstable?)

Main Points
 Pole Positions on s-plane and frequency
response of system closely related.

 Fourier is effectively a subset of Laplace

 Generally a system described in terms of


H(s) (aka System Transfer Function) – because its
the ‘best’ representation to understand behaviour of
the system – Why?
 Shows system stability
 It’s easy enough to get an idea of the frequency
response.
 With some training it can be easy enough to determine
the ‘step response’ of a system from H(s)
