I have a problem with verifying the results for the conversion of a Laplace transform to a z transform. The Laplace transform is in a table and is: (b-a)/((s+a)*(s+b)) The z transform for this transfer function is: ( z*(exp(-a*T)-exp(-b*T))/((z-exp(-a*T)*(z-exp(-b*T)) Now let: a=1 b=2 T=.001 Where a and b are the poles and T is the sample interval. When s-> 0 the Laplace transfer

Hi all, I am studying a digital phase locked loop. The closed loop filter of this loop has the following Z-Transform : H(z) = ((K1+K2)*z^-1 - K1*z^-2) / (1 + (K1+K2-2)*z^-1 + (1-K1)*z^-2) I would like to know the damping factor and the natural pulse of the equivalent time continuous filter H(p). by equivalent, I mean a filter H(p) that would give in the time domain, the same resp...

It's pretty easy to figure out who was responsible for the Fourier transform, ditto for the Laplace. Does anybody out there know who dreamed up the z transform (Please tell me it wasn't someone named 'Z')? ------------------------------------------- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com

I understand the mathematical differences between the two - e.g. - a) LT is more general b/c it is a function of a complex variable 's', whereas FT is a function of an imaginary variable (real part = 0) b) LT converges for a larger range of functions But when to use which? I have used LT for solving differential eqns and thus for anything that is derived from diff eqs, and FT for frequ...

Hi all I'm working on trying to model a non-linear system (described by a second order differential eqn) into a discrete IIR filter. I guess I'm trying to follow the impulse invariance IIR filter design method. In the laplace domain, the transfer function looks like this H(s) = a^2/(s+a)^2 I tried looking up laplace transform tables to find the time domain form for this and the closes...

If w0 is half way between the edges of a bandpass filter in the s domain, it won't be after bilinear transformation. The simplest way I know is too specify the band edges separate

HI, If a function F(u) is known to be a Fourier transform of some function f(t), and F(u) is periodic in u, which can be deemed as frequency variable, with a period 2*pi. If I want to find its inverse Fourier transform, I know I should try either DTFT/IDTFT, or Fourier series, for such a periodic function, and the target function f(t) in the time-domain should be a discrete comb-like fu...

hi all, is the tranfer function H(s)=Output(s)/Input(s) only when the initial state of the system is zero? If the initial state of the system is non-zero then the Output(s)=Something*x(0)+H(s)*Input(s). where x(0) is the initial state of the system, ..(s) is the Laplace transform. Is it correct? Thanks

Hello, I am working on a CDO pricing problem as outlined in a paper [1]. For the computation of the tranch margins one needs several steps of numerical integration, but before that also has to compute the distribution function of a discrete or mixed random variable from it's characteristic or moment generating function, that is, from the Fourier-Stieltjes or Laplace-Stieltjes transfo...

hello!! I hope you can help me out. I need to find the Z tansform from a Laplace expresi?n: 5(1-e^-sT)/s(s+1)(s+2) Now, I know that there is a table to calculate this but I can't find anything on the web, maybe you have one, or you'd know someway to solve this, I really need it, I hope you can help me, thanks!

As differentiation in the time domain corresponds to multiplication by s in the Laplace domain, it seems reasonable (to me) in terms of the Bilinear transform that multiplying the same digitized transfer function by 1-z^?? ------ 1+z^?? should give the same desired effect in discrete case. But why doesn't this work? (If I, however, just multiply by 1-z?? it ofcourse corresponds to a finit...

Hi all, Sorry for my rustiness on Laplace transforms. I used the Laplace transform to solve the following equation, and got some results. Could you please comment on the correctness of my solution? The equation is: f(t)=a+b*Integrate( exp(-c*(t-s)) * f(s), ds, s from 0 to t) Here f(t) is a function that only takes values on [0, +inf). Here "*" denotes the multiplication. a, b, an...

Hi all, I have a function f(x) and I take its unilateral Laplace transform to obtain F(z) where z is on the complex plane. However it is complicated and it is possible only to obtain the F(z) numerically. That's to say: f(x) -- (numerical) Laplace Transform -- > F(z) However, I want to find (hopefully theoretically) the poles and hence the region of convergence of F(z), because t
