THE TRANSFER FUNCTION AND SYSTEM RESPONSE
Introduction
In the field of control system, a process or plant is usually presented in the form of a block. A
block represents the transfer function H(s) of a linear-time invariant (LTI) system as shown.

If the input x(t) of the system is a unit step function () = {
,
0, < 0
determine the system response () = ()(). Write the result below:
Using manual mathematical computation, determine the time-domain system response y(t) by
taking the inverse Laplace transform of Y(s). Write your solution below:
Write the m-file that will take the inverse Laplace transform of Y(s) above. Run the code and
write the results below:
Using the system response y(t) you obtained, write a short Matlab program code that will plot y(t)
from t=0 and t=3 sec.

Draw the results below. How does it compare to the one you previously plotted? What can you
say about the two graphs?
