 Example
Find the inverse Laplace Transform for the
signal:
2s  4
X (s)  2 Re( s )  1
s  4s  3

 Solution
1 1
X ( s)   Re(s )  1
s 1 s  3

The ROC of X(s) is Re(s)  1 . Thus x(t) is a right

handed signal and from Table,

t 3 t t 3t
x(t )  e u (t )  e u (t )  (e  e )u (t )

 The System Function
Output y(t) of a continuous time LTI system equals the
convolution of the input x(t) with the impulse response
h(t):
y (t )  x(t )  h(t )
Y ( s)  X ( s) H ( s)

Transfer function of the system:

Y (s)
H ( s) 
X ( s)
