Motivation for the laplace transform CT Fourier transform enables us to do a lot of things, e.g Analyze frequency response oflti systems Sampling Modulation Why do we need yet another transform? One view of Laplace Transform is as an extension of the Fourier transform to allow analysis of broader class of signals and systems particular, Fourier transform cannot handle large(and important) classes of signals and unstable systems i e. when
• CT Fourier transform enables us to do a lot of things, e.g. — Analyze frequency response of LTI systems — Sampling — Modulation # Motivation for the Laplace Transform • In particular, Fourier transform cannot handle large (and important) classes of signals and unstable systems, i.e. when • Why do we need yet another transform? • One view of Laplace Transform is as an extension of the Fourier transform to allow analysis of broader class of signals and systems
Motivation for the Laplace Transform(continued In many applications, we do need to deal with unstable systems, e. g Stabilizing an inverted pendulum Stabilizing an airplane or space shuttle Instability is desired in some applications, e.g. oscillators and asers How do we analyze such signals/systems? Recall from Lecture #5, eigenfunction property of lti systems h(s st H( h(te s dt(assuming this converges) est is an eigenfunction of any lti system s=o+jo can be complex in general
Motivation for the Laplace Transform (continued) • How do we analyze such signals/systems? Recall from Lecture #5, eigenfunction property of LTI systems: — est is an eigenfunction of any LTI system — s = σ + j ω can be complex in general • In many applications, we do need to deal with unstable systems, e.g. — Stabilizing an inverted pendulum — Stabilizing an airplane or space shuttle # — Instability is desired in some applications, e.g. oscillators and lasers

Rational transforms Many (but by no means all) Laplace transforms of interest to us are rational functions of s(e.g, Examples #1 and #2 In genera impulse responses of lti systems described by lCCDes, where X(S=D(s), N(s),D(s)polynomials in s Roots of N(s)=zeros of X(s) Roots of D(s)=poles of X(s) Any x(t) consisting of a linear combination of complex exponentials for t>0 and for t<0(e.g, as in Example #1 and #2) has a rational Laplace transform
