The document describes inverse Laplace transforms and waveform synthesis. It provides three key points: 1) Inverse Laplace transforms map functions from the s-domain back to the time domain. This allows analyzing systems in s-domain and then converting the response back to time domain. 2) Inverse Laplace transforms are performed using partial fraction expansion to split fractions into forms in the Laplace transform table. 3) Waveform synthesis uses unit step functions and other signals as building blocks to construct waveforms. The Laplace transform of synthesized waveforms can then be found.

Inverse Laplace Transform and Waveform Synthesis


Objective:(i) To describe how to obtain inverse Laplace transform making use of the
knowledge of properties of Laplace Transform and properties of ROC.
(ii) To Apply waveform synthesis to find Laplace forms of certain functions
Introduction :
Inverse Laplace transform maps a function in s-domain back to the time domain. One
application is to convert a system response to an input signal from s-domain back to the time
domain.
Since system analysis is usually easier in s-domain, the process is to convert the
system time domain representation to s-domain (both system and inputs),perform system
analysis in s-domain and then convert back to the time domain representation for the
response. The reason to do this process in this convoluted way is that due to its properties, the
Laplace transform converts the differential equations that describe system behaviour to a
polynomial. Also the convolution operation which describes the system action on the input
signals is converted to a multiplication operation. These two properties make it much easier
to do systems analysis in the s-domain.
Inverse Laplace transform is performed using Partial Fraction Expansion that split up
a complicated fraction into forms that are in the Laplace Transform table.
Description :
Concept of Inverse Laplace Transform
We are aware that the Laplace transform of a continuous signal x(t) is given by

𝑋 𝑠 = 𝑥(𝑡)𝑒 −𝑠𝑡 𝑑𝑡
−∞

Since s=σ+jω

∞ ∞
−(σ+jω)𝑡
𝑋 σ + jω = 𝑥(𝑡)𝑒 𝑑𝑡 = 𝑥(𝑡)𝑒 −σ𝑡 𝑒 −jω𝑡 𝑑𝑡 = ℱ 𝑥(𝑡)𝑒 −σ𝑡
−∞ −∞

1
𝑥 𝑡 𝑒 −σ𝑡 = ℱ −1 𝑋 σ + jω = 𝑋 σ + jω 𝑒 jω𝑡 𝑑ω
2𝜋
−∞

We can recover x(t) from its Laplace transform evaluated for a set of values of s=σ+jωin the
ROC, with σfixed and ω varying from -∞ to +∞. Recovering s(t) from X(s) is done by
changing the variable of integration in the above equation from ωto s and using the fact that σ
is constant, so that ds=jdω.
∞ ∞ σ+j∞
1 1 1
𝑥 𝑡 = 𝑋 𝑠 𝑒 σ𝑡 𝑒 jω𝑡 𝑑ω = 𝑋 𝑠 𝑒 s𝑡 𝑑ω = 𝑋 𝑠 𝑒 s𝑡 𝑑𝑠
2𝜋 2𝜋 2𝜋𝑗
−∞ −∞ σ−𝑗 ∞
The contour of integration in above equation is a straight line in the s-plane corresponding to
all points s satisfying Re{s}=σ. This line is parallel to the jω-axis. Therefore, we can choose
any value of σ such that 𝑋 σ + jω converges.
Partial Fraction Expansion
As we know that the rational form of X(s) can be expanded into partial fractions,
Inverse Laplace transform can be taken according to location of poles and ROC of X(s). The
roots of denominator polynomial, i.e., poles can be simple and real, complex or multiple.
We know that X(s) is expanded in partial fractions as
𝑐0 𝑐1 𝑐2 𝑐𝑛
𝑋 𝑠 = + + + ⋯+
𝑠 − 𝑠0 𝑠 − 𝑠1 𝑠 − 𝑠2 𝑠 − 𝑠𝑛
Here the roots s0,s1,s2,...sn can be real, complex or multiple. Then the values of
k0,k1,k2,...kn constants are calculated accordingly.
In order to find the appropriate time domain function, ROC should be indicated for
the s-domain function. Otherwise we may have multiple time-domain functions based on
different possible ROCs.
Illustration
Example for Real roots:
Problem 1:Find out the partial fraction expansion and hence Inverse Laplace transform of the
𝑠 2 +2𝑠−2
function 𝑋 𝑠 = 𝑠(𝑠+2)(𝑠−3) , ROC: Re{s} > 3

Laplace transform using Waveform Synthesis


In waveform synthesis, the unit step function u(t) and other functions serve as building blocks
in constructing other waveforms. Once the waveforms are synthesized in the form of other
functions, Laplace transform is found and simplified.
Illustration
For example, we may describe a pulse waveform in terms of unit step functions. A pulse of
unit amplitude from t=a to t=b can be formed by taking the difference between the two step
functions
i.e.,x(t) = u(t-a) - u(t-b)

Problem 10:Obtain the Laplace transform of the triangular pulse as shown below using
waveform synthesis

Solution:
As shown in the figure above, a ramp of slope „A‟ starting at t=0 is taken as f1(t). The
function f2(t) is the ramp of slope -2A starting at t=1. When we add f1(t) and f2(t) we get the
signal shown in figure (c). Observe that a negative going ramp of slope (A-2A=-A) starts at
t=1. To cancel the part of this ramp after t≥2, a positive going ramp of slope +A in figure (d)
is added. Then we get the required triangular pulse of Figure (e).
With the help of step functions, the ramp functions in the figure above can be expressed as
follows:
f1(t)=A t u(t) { The function u(t)=1 for t>0; It indicates that ramp is present only for t≥0}
f2(t)=-2A (t-1) u(t-1) { The function u(t-1)=1 for t>1; It indicates that ramp is present only for
t≥1}
f3(t)=A(t-2) u(t-2)
Therefore, f(t)=f1(t)+f2(t)+f3(t)=A t u(t)-2A (t-1) u(t-1)+A(t-2) u(t-2)
Since u(t), u(t-1) and u(t-2) have values of „1‟ and they just represent the time shifts and
directions of ramp functions, they can be dropped in this expression. Laplace transform of
above equation becomes

ans =

>> pretty(ans)
- 5/4 + 7/2 t exp(-2 t) + 5/4 exp(-2 t)
Which corresponds to
𝑓 𝑡 = −1.25 + 3.5𝑡𝑒 −2𝑡 + 1.25𝑒 −2𝑡

>> F=10*(s+2)/(s*(s^2+4*s+5));
>>ilaplace(F)
