Summary and Conclusion
Definition
• Bilateral Laplace Transform

f (t )
L
F (s)
• s is complex : 𝑠 = 𝜎 + 𝑗𝜔
2
Region of Convergence (ROC) and its Properties
• All complex values of s for which the integral in the definition
converges form a region of convergence (ROC) in the s-plane.
• Properties of ROC
a) Does not contain any poles
b) Finite Duration signals
c) Left-sided signals
d) Right-sided signals
e) Both sided signals

Laplace Transform of Elementary functions

Inverse Laplace Transform
• We will use the method of partial fraction.
• The procedure consists of expanding a rational algebraic
expression into a linear combination of lower order terms.
• For each element, the inverse Laplace is then determined by
inspection.

Properties of Laplace Transform
1. Linearity
2. Time shifting
3. Shifting in s-domain
4. Differentiation in time-domain
5. Differentiation in frequency-domain
6. Integration in time-domain
7. Convolution
• We saw symmetric patterns between the time domain (i.e. signals),
and the frequency domain (i.e. their Laplace transforms)
• Differentiation in one domain corresponds to multiplication by the
domain-variable in the other.
• Multiplication by an exponential in one domain corresponds to a shift
(or delay) in the other.

Applications of Laplace Transform
• Laplace Transform is a powerful tool used in different areas of
mathematics, physics and engineering.
1. sending signals over any two-way communication medium
2. study and design of process control systems
3. analysis of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning)
4. simplify calculations in system modelling
5. Mathematical analysis of mechanical systems (such as
vibrations in spring, flow monitoring in tanks etc)
6. quickly solve differential equations occurring in the analysis of
electrical/electronic circuits
