In engineering, a transfer function (also known as system function [1] or network function) of a system, sub-system, or component is a mathematical function that models the system's output for each possible input. [2] [3] [4] It is widely used in electronic engineering tools like circuit simulators and control systems.
The closed-loop transfer function is measured at the output. The output signal can be calculated from the closed-loop transfer function and the input signal. Signals may be waveforms, images, or other types of data streams. An example of a closed-loop block diagram, from which a transfer function may be computed, is shown below:
Block diagram of a control system with disturbance. The sensitivity function also describes the transfer function from external disturbance to process output. In fact, assuming an additive disturbance n after the output of the plant, the transfer functions of the closed loop system are given by
In control system theory, and various branches of engineering, a transfer function matrix, or just transfer matrix is a generalisation of the transfer functions of single-input single-output (SISO) systems to multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems. [1] The matrix relates the outputs of the system to its inputs.
Suppose there is a feedback system with input signal () and output signal (). The forward path transfer function is (); the feedback path transfer function is (). For this system, the closed-loop transfer function is given by [10]
Full state feedback (FSF), or pole placement, is a method employed in feedback control system theory to place the closed-loop poles of a plant in predetermined locations in the s-plane. [1] Placing poles is desirable because the location of the poles corresponds directly to the eigenvalues of the system, which control the characteristics of the ...
A plant in control theory is the combination of process and actuator.A plant is often referred to with a transfer function (commonly in the s-domain) which indicates the relation between an input signal and the output signal of a system without feedback, commonly determined by physical properties of the system.
The transfer function for a first-order process with dead time is = + (), where k p is the process gain, τ p is the time constant, θ is the dead time, and u(s) is a step change input. Converting this transfer function to the time domain results in
