Performance Characterisitics Given a Zero in the System

AI Thread Summary
To analytically determine performance characteristics for the given second-order system with a unit step input, the transfer function can be split into two parts: one without zeros and one with a zero at the origin. The time-response function can be directly applied to the part without zeros. For the part with the zero, the relationship sF(s) → df(t)/dt can be utilized to derive the time response. This method allows for the calculation of rise time, peak time, percent overshoot, and settling time without relying on MATLAB. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the system's structure to analyze its performance effectively.

I have the equations to determine the rise time, peak time, percent overshoot, and settling time for a generic second-order system with no zeros in the system. Given a unit step input for the open-loop transfer function G(s)=(s+1)/(s2+2s+1) how do I analytically determine the performance characteristics (aside from using MATLAB)?


Thanks in advance!

You can split your transfer function into two parts. One part has no zeros so you an apply your time-response function directly.

The second function is the same as the first except there is a zero in it - at the origin. A clever way to get the time response to this part is to realize that if F(s) → f(t) then sF(s) → df(t)/dt.

Thank you, this certainly helps!
