Lab 12 - Verification of Laplace Transform Properties and Effect of Pole Location on System
Impulse Response Using MATLAB

Objective: In this lab, you will learn following properties of Laplace Transform:
 Linearity
 Time Shifting
 Mulitplication by an Exponential
 Time Scaling
 Multiplication by a power of t
 Initial and Final Value Theorems
 Effect of Pole-location on System Impulse Response
TASK-01: [MARKS = 7 X 1 = 7]
Use Laplace transform to prove following properties in MATLAB.
Important Note for Task-01: Open the lab manual to see the respective property. For
implementation in MATLAB, define LHS first, then take its Lapace Transform, this will give you the
answer of LHS. Now, take the Laplace Transfrom of 𝑥 (𝑡) which is 𝑋(𝑠) ,then perform the desired
operation on 𝑋(𝑠) according to each property to get answer of RHS. LHS answer must match to the
RHS answer for full credit.
i. Linearity:

𝑥(𝑡) = 𝑒 −𝑡 , 𝑣(𝑡) = cos(𝑡) , 𝑎 = 3, 𝑏 = 4.

ii. Right Shift in Time:
𝑥(𝑡) = cos(𝑡) , 𝑐 = 2.

iii. Mulitplication by an Exponential:

𝑥(𝑡) = 𝑡 3 , 𝑎 = 2.

iv. Time Scaling :

𝑥(𝑡) = 𝑒 −2𝑡 . Consider constant “a” as it is.

v. Multiplication by a Power of t :

𝑥(𝑡) = 𝑢(𝑡), 𝑁 = 1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑁 = 2.

vi. Initial-Value Therem:

Suppose that signal 𝑥(𝑡) has the Laplace transform

3𝑠 2 + 2𝑠 − 5
𝑋(𝑠) =
𝑠 3 + 6𝑠 2 + 11𝑠 + 6
Find the value of 𝑥(0) using initial-value theorem.
vii. Final-Value Theorem:

𝑥(𝑡) = sin(𝑡).
Show that lim 𝑥(𝑡) does not exit in MATLAB and also verify by using Final-value theorem that
𝑡→∞
lim 𝑠𝑋(𝑠) still exists.
𝑠→0

Note: - For part vi) and vii), you can use limit () command. See help for complete detail.

TASK-02: [MARKS = 2+4+2= 8]

The Transfer fucntion of the following RLC circuit is given below with 2 cases.

𝑈2 (𝑆) 1 1
𝐻(𝑠) = = =
𝑈1 (𝑆) (𝐿𝑆 + 𝑅)𝐶𝑆 + 1 𝐿𝐶𝑆 2 + 𝑅𝐶𝑆 + 1

a. R = 5Ω , C = 10 μF , L = 10 mH. % 1st System

b. R =20Ω , % 2nd System with same values of L nd C

i. Plot Pole-Zero map of each system using subplot command and comment on stability.
ii. Plot the impulse response of the each system and compare responses on a single graph using
hold on command. Draw conclusion on the impulse response of the systems based upon pole-
zero location found in part i).Your impulse response graph should look like as follows.
iii. Add Zero in the system at s = 0 and see the effect on impulse response. Comment on the result.

TASK-03: [MARKS = 1 + 1 + 1+2 = 5 ]

The differential equation of a second order system is given below.

𝑑 2 𝑦(𝑡) 2𝑑𝑦(𝑡) 2𝑑𝑥(𝑡)

− + 2𝑦(𝑡) = + 𝑥(𝑡)
𝑑𝑡 2 𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡
i. Compute transfer function 𝐻(𝑠) manually showing all steps here.
ii. Plot the Pole-zero plot in MATLAB in figure 1 and comment on the stability of this system.
iii. Plot the impulse response of this system in MATLAB in figure-2 using subplot (211)
command and comment on the beaviour of the system.
iv. Let 𝑥(𝑡) = 𝑢(𝑡). Compute step response of the system and plot it using MATLAB in figure-2
using subplot (212) command. Hint: you can use step () command or lsim () command for
this task.

Note:- Adjust your axis so that plots are clearly visible.
