Transfer functions
Transfer functions are generally expressed as a ratio of
polynomials
Where
21
Transfer function
Order of underlying ODE is given by degree of
characteristic polynomial
e.g. First order processes
22
Transfer Function
Steady state behavior of the process obtained form the
final value theorem
e.g. First order process
This implies that the limit exists, i.e. that the system is stable.
