Introduction
Transfer function
Definition: The ratio of Laplace transform of the output to
the Laplace transform of the input under the assumption of
zero initial conditions is defined as “Transfer Function”.
The relationship between input & output of a system is
given by the transfer function.

Introduction
Transfer function
System
g(t)
For the system shown
𝐿{𝑐 𝑡 = 𝐶(𝑠)
C(t) = output
L{r(t) = R(s)
r(t) = input
L{g(t) = G(s)
G(t) = System function
Therefore transfer function G(s) for above system is given by,

Properties of Transfer function
Zero initial condition
It is same as Laplace transform.
Replacing ‘s’ by d/dt in the transfer function, the
differential equation can be obtained
Poles and zeros can be obtained from the transfer function
Stability can be known
Can be applicable to linear time invariant system only
Control Engineering
Introduction
Disadvantages of Transfer function
Applicable only to linear time invariant control system
Not applicable if initial condition cannot be neglected
It gives no information about the actual structure of a
physical system
Control Engineering
Introduction
Transfer Function Models
Transfer function models describe the relationship
between the inputs and outputs of a system using a ratio of
polynomials.
The model order is equal to the order of the denominator
polynomial.
The parameters of a transfer function model are its poles,
zeros and transport delays.
Control Engineering
Introduction
Transfer Function Models
For linear time-invariant systems, rather than build an
explicit discrete-time model
for each mass, spring, and dashpot, (or inductor,
capacitor, and resistor for virtual analog models)
we may instead choose to model only the transfer
function between selected inputs and outputs of the
physical system
