Lecture Time Domain Analysis of Control Systems

This document provides an overview of time domain analysis of control systems. It discusses standard test signals used for analysis, including impulse, step, ramp, and parabolic signals. The relationships between these signals and their Laplace transforms are described. The time response of a system is explained as having two components: the transient response as the system settles from its initial state, and the steady-state response after the transient dies out. Standard test signals like steps are useful for analyzing the transient response, while different inputs can be used to examine the steady-state response.

Lecture
Time Domain Analysis of Control systems

Engr. Mehr Gul Bozdar

Introduction
In time-domain analysis the response of a dynamic system to
an input is expressed as a function of time.
It is possible to compute the time response of a system if the
nature of input and the mathematical model of the system are
known.
Usually, the input signals to control systems are not known
fully ahead of time.
For example, in a radar tracking system, the position and the
speed of the target to be tracked may vary in a random fashion.
It is therefore difficult to express the actual input signals
mathematically by simple equations.

Standard Test Signals


The characteristics of actual input signals are a
sudden shock, a sudden change, a constant
velocity, and constant acceleration.
The dynamic behavior of a system is therefore
judged and compared under application of
standard test signals an impulse, a step, a
constant velocity, and constant acceleration.

Another standard signal of great importance is a


sinusoidal signal.

Time Response of Control Systems


Time response of a dynamic system response to an input
expressed as a function of time.

System

The time response of any system has two components

Transient response
Steady-state response.

Time Response of Control Systems


When the response of the system is changed from rest or
equilibrium it takes some time to settle down.

Transient response is the response of a system from rest or


equilibrium to steady state.

Time Response of Control Systems


Transient response is dependent upon the system poles only and
not on the type of input.
It is therefore sufficient to analyze the transient response using a
step input.
The steady-state response depends on system dynamics and the
input quantity.

It is then examined using different test signals by final value


theorem.
