ABSTRACT

The behavior of dynamic physical systems can generally be described or approximated using linear differential equations [34]. Whether the system is electrical, mechanical, biomedical or even socioeconomic, its mathematical model can usually be approximated using differential or difference equations. Once the differential or difference equations have been determined the system transfer function and its response to different inputs can be evaluated. The objective in this chapter is to learn about modeling of linear systems, the evaluation of their transfer functions and properties of their time and frequency response.
