TRANSIENT RESPONSE ANALYSISTIME RESPONSE
+ TIME RESPONSE of a system is defined as the behavior of a system under the effect of an input
which is assumed to be applied at ¢=0 with zero initial conditions.
+ TIME RESPONSE consists of two parts:
1. Steady-state response ; The manner in which the system behaves as ¢> 00.
2. Transient response _ : The part of response between initial state and final state.
* Inthe analysis and design of control systems, a common basis of comparison exist for the transient
performances of various systems. This is usually done by using particular test input signals and
comparing the responses.

+ For Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems, if the response to any one of these test inputs is given, the
others can be obtained.

* Usually unit step input is used due to its simplicity and completeness in defining the dynamic
character of the system.

the output is not unity (Le. y,,#1).

1.The necessary and sufficient condition for a system to be stable is that all its poles must have
negative real parts.
2.The poles closer to the imaginary axis dominate the system behavior (DOMINANT POLES)
3.Zeros cancel the effect of poles near them.
If the ratio of the real parts is more than five, and if there is no zero near it,
the pole further away from the imaginary axis may be neglected.
