Transfer function of LTI systems The transfer function of LTI systems has a specific form: it is rational. The roots of The roots of are called the zeros of the transfer function. are called the poles of the transfer function. 4
Response of LTI systems: non-zero-state Can we evaluate the response of a LTI system by simply looking at its transfer function? Example: consider the continuous-time LTI system described by the ODE The transfer function writes We want to compute the response of this system in non-zero-state to a step of amplitude a that starts at t=0 (step response). 5
Response of LTI systems: non-zero-state The problem writes and the response can be derived using the unilateral Laplace transform: which gives 6

Response of LTI systems: modes zero-input response zero-state response The zero-input (i.e. autonomous) response of a LTI system is composed of (complex) exponentials determined by the poles of the transfer function. The poles of the transfer function define the modes of the systems response (i.e. natural response). If the transfer function possesses a positive real pole, the modes contain a growing exponential! Stability of the system? 8
Bounded input bounded output (BIBO) stability A system is BIBO stable of all input-output pairs where is often referred as the gain of the system. satisfy In practice, it means that in a stable system, a bounded input will always give a bounded output. Stability is critical in engineering! 9
How do we characterize BIBO stability? A LTI system is stable if the poles of the transfer function all have negative real parts, i.e. the imaginary axis is included in its ROC. 10
How do we characterize BIBO stability? In general, stability is ensured if continuous:. discrete:. In other words: continuous: the imaginary axis is included in the ROC of the transfer function. discrete: the unit circle is included in the ROC of the transfer function. Note that stability conditions imply that the Fourier transform exists! 11

How do we characterize the response of a LTI systems to an oscillatory signal at a specific frequency? Using the polar representation, we have Change in amplitude Change in phase When an oscillatory signal goes through a LTI systems, his amplitude (amplification/attenuation) and phase (advance, delay) are affected. Not his frequency! 14
Frequency response of LTI systems The frequency response of a LTI system can be fully characterize by, and in particular: : GAIN (change in amplitude) : PHASE (change in phase) A change in phase in the frequency domain corresponds to a time delay in the time domain: which gives The slope of the phase curve corresponds to a delay in the time domain. 15

In practice, we use a logarithmic scale for such that becomes 17
The Bode plots The Bode plots graphically represent the frequency response of a LTI system. They are composed of two plots: The amplitude plot (in db):. The phase plot:. For discrete time systems, we use a linear scale for the frequencies, ranging from to. 18

Bandwidth The bandwidth of a system is the range of frequencies that transmits faithfully through the system. We can define the bandwidth of a system the same way we defined its timeconstant: 21
Bandwidth We define the bandwidth of a system the same way we defined its time-constant: There is a tradeoff between the bandwidth of a system and its time-constant. Indeed, let s consider, which gives If we now consider and, we have 22
