Transfer function (review) Impulse response (review)
A transfer function is defined by Suppose that u(t) is the unit impulse function
and system is at rest.
Laplace transform of system output
System
Laplace transform of system input
The output g(t) for the unit impulse input is called
impulse response.
A system is assumed to be at rest. (Zero initial Since U(s)=1, the transfer function can also be
condition) defined as the Laplace transform of impulse
response:

The loop gain is the product of
all transfer functions that form the loop
Fg: Forward gain from R(s) to Y(s) G(s) Fg: Forward gain from R(s) to E(s) 1
Lg: Loop gain: G(s)K(s)(-1) Lg: Loop gain: G(s)K(s)(-1)
