Inverse Laplace Transforms
Background:
To find the inverse Laplace transform we use transform pairsalong with partial fraction expansion:
F(s) can be written as;
)(
)()(
sQ
sPsF
Where P(s) & Q(s) are polynomials in the Laplace variable, s.We assume the order of Q(s) P(s), in order to be in properform. If F(s) is not in proper form we use long division and divide Q(s) into P(s) until we get a remaining ratio of polynomialsthat are in proper form.
Inverse Laplace Transforms
Background:There are three cases to consider in doing the partial fraction expansion of F(s).
Case 1: F(s) has all non repeated simple roots.

Convolution Integral:
Consider that we have the following situation.
h(t)x(t) y(t)
x(t) is the input to the system.h(t) is the impulse response of the system.y(t) is the output of the system.
System
We will look at how the above is related in the time domainand in the Laplace transform.
Inverse Laplace Transforms
Convolution Integral:
In the time domain we can write the following:
ttdxthdhtxthtxty
00)()()()()()()(
In this case x(t) and h(t) are said to be convolved and theintegral on the right is called the convolution integral.
It can be shown that,
sHsXsYthtxL )()()()(
This is very important
* note
Inverse Laplace TransformsConvolution Integral:
Through an example let us see how the convolution integral and the Laplace transform are related.
We now think of the following situation:

Inverse Laplace TransformsConvolution Integral:
From the previous diagram we note the following:
)()(;)()(;)()( thLsHtyLsYtxLsX
h(t) is called the system impulse response for the followingreason.
)()()( sHsXsY
If the input x(t) is a unit impulse, (t), the L(x(t)) = X(s) = 1.Since x(t) is an impulse, we say that y(t) is the impulseresponse. From Eq A, if X(s) = 1, then Y(s) = H(s). Since,

Inverse Laplace TransformsConvolution Integral:
A really important thing here is that anytime you are givena system diagram as follows,
H(s)X(s) Y(s)
the inverse Laplace transform of H(s) is the system’simpulse response.
This is important !!
