Electric Circuits, 9th Edition P47. Designed for use in a one or two-semester Introductory Circuit Analysis or Circuit Theory Course taught in Electrical or Computer Engineering Departments. Electric Circuits 9/e is the most widely used introductory circuits textbook of the past 25 years. As this book has evolved over the years to meet the changing learning styles of students, importantly, the underlying teaching approaches and philosophies remain unchanged. | 436 Introduction to the Laplace Transform Functional Transforms A functional transform is simply the Laplace transform of a specified function of t. Because we are limiting our introduction to the unilateral or one-sided Laplace transform we define all functions to be zero for t 0 . We derived one functional transform pair in Section where we showed that the Laplace transform of the unit impulse function equals 1 see Eq. . A second illustration is the unit step function of Fig. a where Figure A decaying exponential function. Figure A sinusoidal function for t 0. Equation shows that the Laplace transform of the unit step function is 1 s. Tile Laplace transform of the decaying exponential function shown in Fig. is e at In deriving Eqs. and we used the fact that integration across the discontinuity at the origin is zero. A third illustration of finding a functional transform is the sinusoidal function shown in Fig. . The expression for f t for t 0 is sino z hence the Laplace transform is .T sin art sin a t e sl dt dt 00 -----------z------------dt - 1 1 2 V - 1 5 j t i s2 a 2 Table gives an abbreviated list of Laplace transform pairs.
