OutputResponse

OutputResponse[sys,u[t],{t,tmin,tmax}]

gives the numeric output response of systems model sys to the input u[t] for tmin≤t≤tmax.

OutputResponse[sys,{u[0],u[1],…}]

gives the output response of the discrete-time system sys to the input sequence u[i].

OutputResponse[sys,u[t],t]

gives the symbolic output response of system sys to the input u[t] as a function of time t.

OutputResponse[sys,{u1[t],…,um[t]},…]

gives the output response for multiple inputs ui[t].

Details

  • OutputResponse is also known as impulse response, step response, and ramp response.
  • OutputResponse solves the underlying differential or difference equations for the given input.
  • The systems model sys can be a TransferFunctionModel, a StateSpaceModel, a continuous-time AffineStateSpaceModel, or a continuous-time NonlinearStateSpaceModel.
  • A linear TransferFunctionModel or StateSpaceModel sys can also be a descriptor and delay system.
  • The initial values for the differential and difference equations are taken to be zero for a TransferFunctionModel. For the state-space models, they are taken to be the state operating values of sys unless specified.
  • OutputResponse[{sys,{x10,x20,…,xn0}},…] can be used to specify the initial state for a state-space model sys.
  • For descriptor state-space systems, the initial states need to be consistent.
  • For delay state-space systems, the initial states include history and can be given as xi0[t] for t≤0. »
