PRACTICAL WORK 3

TITLE : LAPLACE TRANSFORM

Objectives : At the end of this practical work, students should be able to

i) Construct the program for simulation of Laplace Transform.
ii) To construct the Laplace signals using Matlab.
iii) To identify the Laplace Transform using Matlab.

EQUIPMENTS : i) Computer
ii) Software MATLAB

SAFETY PRECAUTION:
1. Do not plug in external devices (e.g USB thumb drive) without scanning them for
computer viruses.
2. Always back up all your important data files.

THEORY:
The Laplace transform of a signal x(t).

Laplace transform a useful tool for analysis of linear time-invariant systems. For a large class of
signals, the Laplace transform can be represented as a ratio of polynomials, called rational
transforms, arise as the system functions for LTI systems which satisfy linear constant coefficient
differential equations. Rational transforms are completely determined, up to a scale factor, by the
roots of polynomials N(s) and D(s), known as zeros and poles respectively. Because these roots play
an important role in the study of LTI systems, it is convenient to display pictorially in a pole-zero
diagram.
