Motivation for Transfer function.

■ To find the time response, we need to solve ordinary differential
equations.

■ When the mode equations are transformed to S-domain, they turn

out to be algebraic equations which are easier to solve.

■ The transformed model in S-domain is called transfer function

model.

■ It is a model which is applicable for all kinds of input signals.

Transfer Function
■ For an LTI system, the transfer function is the ratio of the Laplace transform of the output to the
Laplace transform of the input with the initial conditions being zero.

■ Mathematically, if U(s) is the Laplace transform of the input function and Y(s) is the Laplace
transform of the output, the transfer function is G(s) is given by
