Frequency Response of a LTI System
Lecture 8
We have seen that LTI system response to x(t)=est is H(s)est. We
represent such input-output pair as:
st

e H (s)e
Frequency Response
Instead of using a complex frequency, let us set s = j, this yields:
e jt H ( j )e jt
cos t = Re(e jt ) Re[ H ( j )e jt ]

Therefore
For input x(t)=cos(10t-50), we will use the amplitude and phase response
curves directly:
H ( j10) = 0.894
( j10) = H ( j10) = 26
y(t ) = 0.372cos(2t + 65.3)
Therefore
y(t ) = 0.894cos(10t 50 + 26) = 0.894cos(10t + 24)

Frequency Response of delay of T sec
H(s) of an ideal differentiator is:
H (s) = s and H ( j ) = j = e j / 2
(Time-shifting property)
Therefore
Therefore
H ( j ) =
H ( j) = e jT = 1
and
( j) = T
That is, delaying a signal by T has no effect on
its amplitude.
It results in a linear phase shift (with
frequency), and a gradient of T.
The quantity:

The POLES are roots of the denominator polynomial. In this case, the
poles of the system are: s=0, s=-b1 and the solutions of the quadratic

Since the constant term is 100 = 40dB, x-axis cut the vertical axis at 40.
We need to draw straight lines for zeros at origin and =100.
We need to draw straight line for poles at =2 and =10.
Step 3: Add all the asymptotes.
Step 4: Apply corrections if necessary.

Relating this lecture to other courses
You will be applying frequency response in various areas such as filters
and 2nd year control. You have also used frequency response in the 2nd
year analogue electronics course. Here we explore this as a special case
of the general concept of complex frequency, where the real part is zero.
You have come across Bode plots from 2nd year analogue electronics
course. Here we go deeper into where all these rules come from.
We will apply much of what we done so far in the frequency domain to
analyse and design some filters in the next lecture.
