Laplace Transform for Continuous-Time Signals and Systems

Chapter Objectives

  • Learn the Laplace transform as a more generalized version of the Fourier transform studied in Chapter 4.
  • Understand the convergence characteristics of the Laplace transform and the concept of region of convergence.
  • Explore the properties of the Laplace transform.
  • Understand the use of the Laplace transform for modeling CTLTI systems. Learn the s-domain system function and its use for solving signal-system interaction problems.
  • Learn techniques for obtaining simulation diagrams for CTLTI systems based on the s-domain system function.
  • Learn the use of the unilateral Laplace transform for solving differential equations with specified initial conditions.
