Introduction to the Laplace Transform
Fourier transforms are extremely useful in the study of many
problems of practical importance involving signals and LTI
systems.
purely imaginary complex exponentials est
, s=jω
A large class of signals can be represented as a linear
combination of complex exponentials and complex
exponentials are eigenfunctions of LTI systems.
However, the eigenfunction property applies to any
complex number s, not just purely imaginary (signals)
This leads to the development of the Laplace transform
where s is an arbitrary complex number.
Laplace and z-transforms can be applied to the analysis of
un-stable system (signals with infinite energy) and play a
role in the analysis of system stability
EE-2027 SaS, 4/13
The Laplace Transform
The response of an LTI system with impulse response h(t) to a
complex exponential input, x(t)=est
, is
where s is a complex number and
when s is purely imaginary, this is the Fourier transform, H(jω)
when s is complex, this is the Laplace transform of h(t), H(s)
The Laplace transform of a general signal x(t) is:

Laplace and Fourier Transform
The Fourier transform is the Laplace transform when s is
purely imaginary:
An alternative way of expressing this is when s = σ+jω
The Laplace transform is the Fourier transform of the
transformed signal x’(t) = x(t)e-σt
. Depending on whether σ is
positive/negative this represents a growing/negative signal

Example 2: Laplace Transform
Consider the signal
The Laplace transform is:
Convergence requires that Re{s+a}<0 or Re{s}<-a.
The Laplace transform expression is identical to Example 1
(similar but different signals), however the regions of
convergence of s are mutually exclusive (non-
intersecting).
For a Laplace transform, we need both the expression and
the Region Of Convergence (ROC).

It is worthwhile reflecting that the Fourier transform does not
exist for a fairly wide class of signals, such as the
response of an unstable, first order system, the Fourier
transform does not exist/converge
E.g. x(t) = eat
u(t), a>0
does not exist (is infinite) because the signal’s energy is
infinite
This is because we multiply x(t) by a complex sinusoidal
signal which has unit magnitude for all t and integrate for
all time. Therefore, as the Dirichlet convergence
conditions say, the Fourier transform exists for most
signals with finite energy

The Region Of Convergence (ROC) of the Laplace transform is
the set of values for s (=σ+jω) for which the Fourier
transform of x(t)e-σt
converges (exists).
The ROC is generally displayed by drawing separating
line/curve in the complex plane, as illustrated below for
Examples 1 and 2, respectively.
The shaded regions denote the ROC for the Laplace transform

Example 4: Laplace Transform
Consider a signal that is the sum of two real exponentials:
The Laplace transform is then:
Using Example 1, each expression can be evaluated as:
The ROC associated with these terms are Re{s}>-1 and Re{s}>-2.
Therefore, both will converge for Re{s}>-1, and the Laplace

Lecture 10: Summary
The Laplace transform is a superset of the Fourier transform
– it is equal to it when s=jω i.e. F{x(t)} = X(jω)
Laplace transform of a continuous time signal is defined by:
And can be imagined as being the Fourier transform of the
signal x’(t) = x(t)eσt
, when s=σ+jω
The region of convergence (ROC) associated with the
Laplace transform defines the region in s (complex) space
for which the Laplace transform converges.
In simple cases it corresponds to the values for s (σ) for
which the transformed signal has finite energy

Matlab
There are laplace() and ilaplace() functions in the
Matlab symbolic toolbox
>> syms a w t s
>> laplace(exp(a*t))
>> laplace(sin(w*t))
>> ilaplace(1/(s-1))
Try these functions to evaluate the signals of interest
These use the symbolic integration function int()

  • 9. EE-2027 SaS, 9/13 It is worthwhile reflecting that the Fourier transform does not exist for a fairly wide class of signals, such as the response of an unstable, first order system, the Fourier transform does not exist/converge E.g. x(t) = eat u(t), a>0 does not exist (is infinite) because the signal’s energy is infinite This is because we multiply x(t) by a complex sinusoidal signal which has unit magnitude for all t and integrate for all time. Therefore, as the Dirichlet convergence conditions say, the Fourier transform exists for most signals with finite energy Fourier Transform does not Converge … ∫ ∞ − = 0 ) (dt e e j Xt j atω ω
  • 10. EE-2027 SaS, 10/13 The Region Of Convergence (ROC) of the Laplace transform is the set of values for s (=σ+jω) for which the Fourier transform of x(t)e-σt converges (exists). The ROC is generally displayed by drawing separating line/curve in the complex plane, as illustrated below for Examples 1 and 2, respectively. The shaded regions denote the ROC for the Laplace transform Region of Convergence Re Im -a Re Im -a as −>}Re{ as −<}Re{

  • 12. EE-2027 SaS, 12/13 Lecture 10: Summary The Laplace transform is a superset of the Fourier transform – it is equal to it when s=jω i.e. F{x(t)} = X(jω) Laplace transform of a continuous time signal is defined by: And can be imagined as being the Fourier transform of the signal x’(t) = x(t)eσt , when s=σ+jω The region of convergence (ROC) associated with the Laplace transform defines the region in s (complex) space for which the Laplace transform converges. In simple cases it corresponds to the values for s (σ) for which the transformed signal has finite energy ∫ ∞ ∞− − = dtetxsX st )()(
