Inverse Laplace transform Signals and systems

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around finding the inverse Laplace transform in the context of signals and systems. The original poster presents a function Y(s) that involves a complex fraction with a variable ω, which is linked to the impulse response and input signals provided in the problem statement.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the form of the numerator in relation to the denominator and question the correctness of the Laplace transforms for the given input and impulse response. There are attempts to clarify the role of the variable ω and its value in the context of the problem.

Discussion Status

Some participants have offered guidance on the form of the numerator and the need to recalculate the Laplace transforms. There is an ongoing exploration of the implications of the variable ω and how it affects the calculations. Multiple interpretations of the transforms are being considered, and participants are actively questioning their previous assumptions.

Contextual Notes

There is mention of specific constraints from the homework assignment, including the requirement to compute Y(t) based on the given input and impulse response. The presence of the variable ω and its assignment as a constant is also under discussion, indicating potential confusion in the problem setup.

Homework Statement



Compute Y(t).


Homework Equations



Y(s)= (s(2s+11)+ω(8s+4ω^2))/((s^2+ω^2)(s+9)(s+2))

The Attempt at a Solution



(s(2s+11)+ω(8s+4ω^2 ))/((s^2+ω^2)(s+9)(s+2))= A/(s^2+ω^2 )+B/(s+9)+C/(s+2)

Every example I have looked at does not have the ω variable, but I am not sure that is the problem.

This is a problem from a lab for a signals and systems course. The problem starts by giving h(t) =[cos 2t + 4 sin 2t]u(t), and asking for the impulse response. Then an input of x(t) = (5/7)(e^-t)-(12/7)(e^-8t) is provided. The output response is then calculated, and that is where this question picks up.

Thank you for any assistance.

The numerator of the first fraction should be of the form As+B because the denominator is a quadratic.

I assume X(s) and H(s) are supposed to be the Laplace transforms for the given x(t) and h(t). If so, you need to recalculate X(s) as it isn't correct.

ω is a constant. It's the frequency in the cosine and sine terms, so you can set it to 2 in H(s).

I am guessing that the mistake made with the X(s) and H(s) terms is that I simplified and ended up with unfavorable numerators. I am going to try using :

H(s)=1/(s+ω^2 )+4/(s^2+ω)
X(s)=1/(s+2)+1/(s+9)

and calculate from there.

Is this correct?

Thank you.

I edited my first post a couple of times after I first submitted it, so you may want to reread it.

Your original H(s) was correct. You just have to set ω=2. It's the angular frequency which appears in the terms of x(t).

X(s), however, remains a mystery. I'm not sure how you're getting 1/(s+2) and 1/(s+9) terms in it.

It turns out if you get X(s) and H(s) correct, the algebra simplifies a lot, and you should find it relatively easy to find y(t).
 
Thanks.
The X(s) comes from the formula that was given in the assignment.
x(t)=(5/7)(e^-t)-(12/7)(e^-8t)

When I was writing my explanation, I think I found an error. I will post back.
