Homework Statement


Transfer functions of the continuous compensation links are given as follows. Find the impulse transfer functions of the digital compensation links using the impulse invariant method.

[itex]\frac{a}{s+a}[/itex]

I don't know how to solve the problem correctly :cry:


Homework Equations


D(z)=Z[D(s)]


The Attempt at a Solution


d(t) = ae-at
D(z)=[itex]\frac{az}{z-e^(-at)}[/itex]

The idea behidn impulse invariant method is to compute a discrete impulse response, h[n], from the continuous impulse response, h(t), by sampling h(t) every T units of time.
[tex]h[n] = Th(Tn)[/tex]
The discrete impulse response is the z-transform of this quantity. It's troubling that the problem statement doesn't give you a sampling time. I suppose you will have to keep it symbolic as T.
