  1. If the unit step response of a network is (1 – e – α t), then its unit impulse response will be









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Unit impulse response of a linear, time invariant network is the derivative of unit step function response of the network.
    Unit step response is (1 – e – α t)
    ∴ Unit impulse response = – (– α) e– α t = α e – α t

    Correct Option: A

    Unit impulse response of a linear, time invariant network is the derivative of unit step function response of the network.
    Unit step response is (1 – e – α t)
    ∴ Unit impulse response = – (– α) e– α t = α e – α t

  1. What will be the closed loop transfer function of a unity feedback control system whose step response is given by
    c(t) = K [1 – 1.66e– 8 t sin (6t + 37°)]

    M(s) =
    C(s)
    R(s)

    But R(s) =
    1
    =
    c

    ∴ M (s) = s C (s)

    n1 - δ² t - φ)
    Thus, 8 = δωn
    and 6 = ωn1 - δ²
    ⇒ δ = 0.8
    and since ωn = 10 satisfy these equations,
    therefore
    ≤ K [1 + 1.66 e– 8t sin (6t – 143°)] =
    100 K
    s(s2 + 16s + 100)

    ∴ M(s) = s C(s) =
    100 K
    s2 + 16s + 100

    Correct Option: A

    M(s) =
    C(s)
    R(s)

    But R(s) =
    1
    =
