Definition of Bilateral Laplace Transform (b for bilateral or two-sided transform) Let s=σ+jω Consider the two sided Laplace transform as the Fourier transform of f(t)e-σt. That is the Fourier transform of an exponentially windowed signal. Note also that if you set the evaluate the Laplace transform F(s) at s= jω, you have the Fourier transform (F(ω))
Unilateral Laplace Transform (Implemented in Mathematica)
Difference Between the Unilateral Laplace Transform and Bilateral Laplace transform • Unilateral transform is used when we choose t=0 as the time during which significant event occurs, such as switching in an electrical circuit. • The bilateral Laplace transform are needed for negative time as well as for positive time.
Laplace Transform Convergence • The Laplace transform does not converge to a finite value for all signals and all values of s • The values of s for which Laplace transform converges is called the Region Of Convergence (ROC) • Always include ROC in your solution! • Example: 0+ indicates greater than zero values Remember: e^jw is sinusoidal; Thus, only the real part is important!
Example – RCO may not always exist! Note that there is no common ROC Laplace Transform can not be applied!
Laplace Transform & Fourier Transform • Laplace transform is more general than Fourier Transform • Fourier Transform: F(ω). (t→ ω) • Laplace Transform: F(s=σ+jω) (t→ σ+jω, a complex plane)
How is Laplace Transform Used (Building block of a negative feedback system) This system becomes unstable if βH(s) is -1. If you subsittuted s by jω, you can use Bode plot to evaluate the stability of the negative feedback system.

Understand Stability of a System Using Laplace Transform Look at the roots of Y(s)/X(s)
Laplace Transform • We use the following notations for Laplace Transform pairs – Refer to the table!
Model an Inductor in the S-Domain • To model an inductor in the S-domain, we need to determine the S-domain equivalent of derivative (next slide)
Model a Capacitor in the S-Domain If initial voltage is 0, V=I/sC 1/(sC) is what we call the impedance of a capacitor.
Application • i=CdV/dt (assume initial voltage is 0) • Integrate i/C with respect to t, will get you I/(sC), which is the voltage in Laplace domain • V=Ldi/dt (assume initial condition is 0) • Integrate V/L with respect to t, get you V/(sL), which is current in Laplace domain.
Example – Unilateral Version • Find F(s): • Find F(s): • Find F(s): • Find F(s):
Applications of Laplace Transform • Easier than solving differential equations • Used to describe system behavior • We assume LTI systems • Uses S-domain instead of frequency domain • Applications of Laplace Transforms/ • Circuit analysis • Easier than solving differential equations • Provides the general solution to any arbitrary wave (not just LRC) • Transient • Sinusoidal steady-state-response (Phasors) • Signal processing • Communications • Definitely useful for Interviews!
Example of Bilateral Version Find F(s): ROC S-plane Re(s)<a a Find F(s): Remember These! Note that Laplace can also be found for periodic functions
