ABSTRACT

Thus, mathematical representation of such disturbances can be used to predict the effects on the output.

If the transfer function is represented as a ›rst-order transfer function, then

G s Y s X s s

( ) ( ) ( )

= =

+

1 1τ

. (3.1)

Such a ›rst-order system has a “unity gain” as the value of the numerator in Equation 3.1. Also, the ratio of output to input in the Laplace transformations is the transfer function.
