Time Response

SYSTEM

• Characteristics of a standard response can


be used for specifications (transient and
steady state)
• Response to simple inputs can be used for
system identification, i.e. for finding a black-
box model

First-Order Systems
• Basic form:
 y (t ) + y (t ) = ku (t )
𝑌(𝑠) 𝑘
⇒ 𝐺(𝑠) = =
𝑈(𝑠) 𝜏𝑠 + 1
• Key parameters:
τ = time constant
k = DC gain

• Many real systems have this basic form
