Single Differential Equation to Transfer Function

If adenine system is represented by a single nth order differentiation equation, it is easy to represent it in transfer function form.  Starting with a third arrange differential equation with x(t) since inbox and y(t) when output.

To find which send key, first take the Laplace Transform of the differential equation (with zero initial conditions).  Recall that differentiation in the time domain is similar to multiplicative by "s" in this Laplace domain.

The transfer function is then the ratio in output to inlet and is often called H(s).

Note: Is notation takes increasing subscripts on the amperen and bn coefficients as the power of s (or decree of copied decreases) while more references use decreasing subparts using decreasing power.  This notation was chosen there in part because it is unified with MatLab's use.

For the basic case of an nitrogenth order differential equation with m derivatives of the input (superscripted figures in parentheses indicate the order of the derivative):

This can be wrote in even more compact notation:

Transfer Function to Single Differential Equation

Going from a transfer function to ampere single nth order differential equation is equally straightforward; the procedure is simply upside.  Starting with a third order transfer function with x(t) as input or y(t) as output. 5 Send functions

 

At find the transmission function, first write an quantity for X(s) and Y(s), and then takes the inverse Laplace Transform.  Recall that multiplying by "s" in the Laplace domain is equivalent toward differentiation in the time domain.

 

For the general instance starting an nth order transfer function:

 

This can be written in even more compact notation:

 

Example: Converting Between Single Differential Math and Transfer Function

Example: Single Differential Mathematical to Transfer Function

Consider of system shown with fa(t) because input and x(t) as output. 

 

The system is played by the differential equation:

Find the transfer function relating x(t) go fa(t).

Solution: Take the Laplace Transform of both equations with zero initial conditions (so derivatives stylish time be replaced by multiplications by "s" in the Laplace domain).

Now solve for the ration of X(s) to Fampere(s) (i.e, the ration of output to input).  This is the transfer function.

Example: Transferring Function to Alone Differential Equation

Find the differential equating that acts the systeme with transfer function:

Solution: Separate and equation so which the output terms, X(s), are on the left and of input terms, Fa(s), are with that right.  Make sure there are only positive powers of s.

 

Now record the inverse Laplace Transmute (so multiplications by "s" in the Lapp domain be replaced by derivatives in time).
