Laplace Transform
Convert the time domain function f(t) to the frequency domain function f(jw)
and f(s).
Gives the total solution to the differential equation and corresponding initial
and final value problems.
Widely used for describing continuous time circuits and systems, including
automatic control systems and also for analysing signal flow through causal
linear time invariant systems with non-zero initial conditions.
The laplace transform f(s) of a time function f(t) is
The coefficients ak, and bk, are real constants, and m and n are positive
integers
The roots of the numerator polynomial, zk, are called the zeros of X(s) because
X(s) = 0 for those values of s.
Similarly, the roots of the denominator polynomial, pk, are called the poles of
X(s) because X(s) is infinite for those values of s. Therefore, the poles of X(s)
lie outside the ROC since X(s) does not converge at the poles.
Except for a scale factor a0 /b0, X(s) can be completely specified by its zeros
and poles.
" x " is used to indicate each pole location and an " o" is used to indicate each
zero.
Properties of the ROC:
The ROC of X(s) depends on the nature of x(t). (assume X(s) is a rational
function of s):
Problem1: Consider the signal
Problem2. Consider the signal
Laplace transforms of some common signals

Laplace Transform Pairs for Common Signals:
Properties of the Laplace transform
◦ Linearity:
linear combination, which results in extending the ROC beyond the common
region.
Time Shifting:
◦ As product of X(s) with e-sto will not effect the poles of X(s), ROC remains
unaltered.
◦ The ROC associated with X(s - so) is that of X(s) shifted by Re(s0).
Time Scaling:
Time Reversal:
The form of R' follows from the possible introduction of an additional pole
at s = 0 by the multiplication by l/s.

The system function
The output y(t) of a continuous-time LTI system equals the convolution of the
input x(t) with the impulse response h(t),
Where Y(s), X(s), and H(s) are the laplace transforms of y(t), x(t), and h(t),
respectively. The Laplace transform H(s) of h(t) is referred to as the system
function (or the transfer function) of the system.
Characterization of LTI Systems:
Causality:
For a causal continuous-time LTI system,
Stability:
a continuous-time LTI system is BIBO stable if and only if
all the poles of H(s) must lie in the left half of the s-plane; that is, they all
have negative real parts because the ROC is of the form Re(s) >σmax, and
since the jw axis is included in the ROC, we must have σmax < 0.
