Objective:
1. To evaluate the effect of pole and zero location upon the time response of first-and
second-order systems.
Discussion:
The output response of a system is the sum of two responses: the forced response and
the natural responses. Although many techniques, such as solving a differential equation or
taking the inverse Laplace transform, enable us to evaluate this output response, these
techniques are laborious and time-consuming. Productivity is aided by analysis and design
techniques that yield results in a minimum of time. The use poles and zeros and their
relationship to the time response of a system is such a technique.

𝑎
1. Given the transfer function G(s)= 𝑠+𝑎: Evaluate settling time and rise time for the following
values: a: 1, 2, 3, 4. Also, plots the poles.

2. Given the transfer function G(s)= 𝑠2 +𝑎𝑠+𝑏:
(a) Evaluate percent overshoot, settling time, peak time, and rise time for the following
values: a= 4, b= 25. Also, plot the poles.
(b) Calculate the values of a and b so that the imaginary part of the poles remains the same
but the real part is increased 2 times over that of (a), and repeat Prelab 2(a).
(c) Calculate the values of a and b so that the imaginary part of the poles remains the same

3.
(a) For the systems of Prelab 2(a), calculate the values of a and b so that the real part of the
poles remains the same but the imaginary part is increased 2 times over that of Prelab
2(a), and repeat Prelab 2(a).
(b) For the systems of Prelab 2(a), calculate the values of a and b so that the real part of the
poles remains the same but the imaginary part is increased 4 times over that of Prelab
2(a), and repeat Prelab 2(a).
4.
(a) For the system of Prelab 2(a), calculate the values of a and b so that the damping ratio
remains the same but the natural frequency is increased 2 times over that of Prelab 2(a),
and repeat Prelab 2(a).
(b) For the system of Prelab 2(a), calculate the values of a and b so that the damping ratio
remains the same but the natural frequency is increased 4 times over that of Prelab 2(a).
5. Briefly describe the effects on the time response as the poles are changed in each of Prelabs
2, 3, and 4.
Lab
1. Using Simulink, set up the systems of Prelab 1 and plot the step response of each of the four
transfer functions on a single graph by using the Simulink LTI Viewer. Also, record the values
of settling time and rise time for each step response.
2. Using Simulink, set up the systems of Prelab 2. Using the Simulink LTI Viewer, plot the step
response of each of the 3 transfer functions on a single graph. Also, record the values of
percent overshoot, settling time, peak time, and rise time for each step response.
3. Using Simulink, set up the systems of Prelab 2(a) and Prelab 3. Using the Simulink LTI Viewer,
plot the step response of each of the 3 transfer functions on a single graph. Also, record the
values of percent overshoot, settling time, peak time, and rise time for each step response.
4. Using Simulink, set up the systems of Prelab 2(a) and Prelab 4. Using the Simulink LTI Viewer,
plot the step response of each of the transfer functions on a single graph. Also, record the
values of percent overshoot, settling time, peak time, and rise for each step response.
