Transfer-Function

A transfer function is defined as the ratio of the Laplace transform of the output signal to that of the input signal, assuming zero initial conditions. It has properties such as being applicable only to linear systems, allowing for the determination of stability, poles, and zeros, and can be used to derive differential equations. While it serves as a mathematical model for system gain, it has limitations including inapplicability to non-linear systems and lack of information about the physical structure of the system.

Transfer Function

Definition: It is the ratio of Laplace transform of output signal to Laplace transform of


input signal assuming all the initial conditions to be zero, i.e.

G(s) is the transfer function of the system. It can be mathematically represented as


follows.
Properties of Transfer function:
Zero initial condition
It is same as Laplace transform of its impulse response
Replacing ‘s’ by d/dt in the transfer function, the differential equation can be obtained
Poles and zeros can be obtained from the transfer function
Stability can be known
Can be applicable to linear system only
Advantages of Transfer function:
It is a mathematical model and gain of the system
Replacing ‘s’ by d/dt in the transfer function, the differential equation can be obtained
Poles and zeros can be obtained from the transfer function
Stability can be known
Impulse response can be found
Disadvantages of Transfer function:
Applicable only to linear system
Not applicable if initial condition cannot be neglected
It gives no information about the actual structure of a physical system
Components of an electrical system: There are three basic elements in an electrical
system, i.e. (a) resistor (R), (b) inductor(L) and (c) capacitor (C).

Electrical systems are of two types,


(i) voltage source electrical system and (ii) current source electrical system.
