Laplace Transform
( ) ( )
Laplace is good at looking for the response to pulses, step functions, delta functions
LT for solving differential equations and thus for anything that is derived from diff equations
FT works only for those signals where dirichlets condition is satisfied the signal should have finite number of maxima and minima and it should have a finite number of discontinuities A sine wave has infinite number of maxima and minima
Laplace transform is used mainly for signals with transient components To obtain a spectral analysis using Laplace; essentially have to multiply a sine wave by a step (Heaviside) function
