Transfer Functions Explained

The document discusses transfer functions in control engineering. It explains that a transfer function represents the relationship between the input and output of a control system component or model. The document provides examples of how to derive equivalent transfer functions when the summing points, function blocks, or pickoff points of a system are rearranged or split. It also gives examples of solving for the transfer function of various serial and feedback control systems. Typical MATLAB commands for analyzing transfer functions like step response, impulse response, and ramp response are also presented.
