Transfer Function of a Control System
Objectives:
To familiarize students with programming commands for constructing transfer functions
within a simple control system.
A. Discussion:
A transfer function, also known as the network function, is a mathematical
representation of the relation between the input and output of a (linear time invariant)
system. The transfer function is the ratio of the output Laplace Transform to the input
Laplace Transform assuming zero initial conditions. Many important characteristics of
dynamic or control systems can be determined from the transfer function.
Zeros are the value(s) for z where the numerator of the transfer function equals zero.
The complex frequencies that make the overall gain of the filter transfer function zero.
Poles are the value(s) for z where the denominator of the transfer function equals
zero. The complex frequencies that make the overall gain of the filter transfer function
infinite.
The general procedure to find the transfer function of a linear differential equation from
input to output is to take the Laplace Transforms of both sides assuming zero conditions, and
to solve for the ratio of the output Laplace over the input Laplace.
B. Procedures:
2. After running the program in (1) the below transfer function will be resulted:
It is useful to draw the s-plane poles and zeros of any pre-defined transfer function using the
following command;
It is possible to extract the poles and zeros from the transfer function using the command:
which returns the poles and zeros of the system in two column vectors P and Z.
