Transfer function to Pole-Zero Plot to Impulse Response Curve

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on converting a transfer function, specifically g(s)=1/((s^2)+(18s)+181), into pole-zero form and sketching the corresponding impulse response. The poles are identified as (-5, 8j) and (-5, -8j), indicating two complex conjugate poles with no zeros. The user seeks assistance in understanding how to derive the impulse response from the pole-zero representation, emphasizing the need for clarity in this process.

Homework Statement



The question gives a transfer function. and we are asked to put it into pole zero form and then we are asked to sketch the positions of the poles and zeros of the system on the complex plane and then sketch the impulse response corresponding to each pole.

i have uploaded a MATLAB image of my pole-zero plot.
i can do the whole question on MATLAB but that doesn't help with understanding how to solve it.



Homework Equations




g(s)=1/((s^2)+(18s)+181) ------- Transfer Function



The Attempt at a Solution



roots of transfer function denominator: ((s^2)+(18s)+181) = (s+(5-8j))(s+(5+8j))

therefore pole zero form:

g(s)=1/((s+(5-8j))(s+(5+8j)))

therefore the diagram of the poles and zeros would have no zeros and two poles at (-5,8) and another at (-5,-8) (Real axis,Imaginary Axis)

i can do upto this part but i am not understanding how to sketch the impulse response curve.

any help would be great.


Thank You.

1.What is the transfer function of an impulse?

2. Remember linearity? Let F(s) = L{f(t)}, then

if F(s) = F1(s) + F2(s) + ...

Then f(t) = L-1{F1(s)} + L-1{F2(s)} + ...
