1 Transfer Function and DC Gain

This document provides instructions for an assignment to find transfer functions of differential equations and analyze the time-domain responses. It includes 6 differential equations and asks to find the transfer function G(s) and DC gain for each. It then provides 2 time-domain analysis problems, asking to plot the responses of the 6 differential equations to 2 different input functions u(t) and analyze which responses converge to a constant and if so if it agrees with the computed DC gain.

Transfer function models

Instruction: Find the transfer functions of the following ODEs, G(s) = Y (s)/U (s). Compute
the DC gain, G(0), if it exists. Use the command tf to create a transfer function model (which is
an LTI object) and use the commands step or lsim to solve the ODEs.

Transfer function and DC gain


1. y + 0.1y = 3u.

G(s) =

DC gain =

2. y + 5y + 6y = 4u + 3u.

DC gain =

G(s) =

3. y + y 2y = u.

G(s) =

DC gain =

...
4. y + y + 4y + 4y = u
+ u.

G(s) =

DC gain =

5. y (4) + 5y (3) + 10y (2) + 10y (1) + 4y = u(3) + 7u(2) + 16u(1) + 10u.

G(s) =

DC gain =

6. y (5) + 9y (4) + 35y (3) + 71y (2) + 68y (1) + 24y = 2u(3) + 5u(2) .

G(s) =

DC gain =

Time-domain responses

For each u(t) in the following problems, you will use a for loop to create six subplots (as a 3 2
array) and plot the responses of y(t) solved from the above six ODEs for 0 t 10. For each plot,
you must include xlabel, ylabel, and a title wisely.
1. Let u(t) be the unit-step function, i.e., u(t) = 1 for t 0. Which of the six responses is
converging a constant ? Explain if the steady-state value of any converging response agrees
with the computed DC gain.
2. Let u(t) be given by

{
u(t) =

0, 0 t < 2
2, t 2.

Discuss how the responses are related with those in part 1). Which of the six responses is
converging a constant ? Does the steady state value agree with the DC gain you computed ?
