Multiple signals can have the same form of Laplace transform but with different Region of
Convergence (ROCs).
Signal Type ROC
Finite Duration Signal If x(t) is absolutely integrable, entire s-plane
Right -sided Signal 𝑁(𝑠)
If 𝑋(𝑠) = (rational), right half plane to the right of the right-
𝐷(𝑠)
most pole
Left-sided signal 𝑁(𝑠)
If 𝑋(𝑠) = (rational), left half plane to the left of the left-most
𝐷(𝑠)
pole
Two-sided signal 𝑁(𝑠)
If 𝑋(𝑠) = (rational), the strip parallel to the jω axis bounded by
𝐷(𝑠)
poles

System Properties
Causal 𝑁(𝑠)
If 𝐻(𝑠) = 𝐷(𝑠) (rational), ROC of a causal system function is the right
half plane to the right of the right-most pole.
Stable ROC of a stable system function includes the entire jω axis (𝑅𝑒{𝑠} =
0).
Causal and Stable ROC of a causal and stable system function has all poles in the left-
half plane, i.e., all of the poles have negative real parts.
