Time Domain Analysis of Control Systems
In time-domain analysis the response of a dynamic
system to an input is expressed as a function of time.
It is possible to compute the time response of a system
if the nature of input and the mathematical model of the
system are known.
After the engineer obtains a mathematical
representation of a system, the system is analyzed for
its transient and steady-state responses to see if these
characteristics yield the desired behavior

4. The concept of poles and zeros are fundamental to the
analysis and design of control systems which simplifies
the evaluation of a system's response.
Pole, Zeros and System Response
Pole of a Transfer Function: The values of the Laplace
transform variable, s, that cause the transfer function to
become infinite
Zeros of a Transfer Function: The values of the Laplace
transform variable, s, that cause the transfer function to
become zero

5. Usually, the input signals to control systems are not
known fully ahead of time.
For example, in a radar tracking system, the position
and the speed of the target to be tracked may vary in a
random fashion.
It is therefore difficult to express the actual input signals
mathematically by simple equations.
So in order to get System Response:
The commonly used test input signals are step
functions, ramp functions, acceleration function, impulse
functions and sinusoidal functions.

6. Standard Test Signals
The characteristics of actual input signals are a sudden
shock, a sudden change, a constant velocity, and
constant acceleration.
The dynamic behavior of a system is therefore judged
and compared under application of standard test
signals – an impulse, a step, a constant velocity, and
constant acceleration.
Another standard signal of great importance is a
sinusoidal signal.

22. Transient Response Performance Specification:
Time Constant: T or a is the only parameter needed
to describe the transient response We call 1/a or T the
time constant of the response.
The time constant can be described as the time for
exp(-at) to decay to 37% of its initial value. Alternately,
the time constant is the time it takes for the step
response to rise to 63% of its final value
It is related to the speed at which the system responds
to a step input.
Since the pole of the transfer function is at -a, we can
say the pole is located at the reciprocal of the time
constant, and
The farther the pole from the imaginary axis, the faster
the transient response.

23. Rise Time, Tr: Rise time is defined as the time for the
waveform to go from 0% or 10% to 90% or 100% of its
final value.
Rise time calculated by solving for the difference in time
at c(t) = 0.9 and c(t) = 0.1. Hence,
Settling Time, Ts: Settling time is defined as the time
for the response to reach, and stay within, 2% of its
final value.
Letting c(t) = 0.98 and solving for time, t, we find the
settling time to be

30. 2nd order systems
We have already discussed the affect of location of
pole and zero on the transient response of 1st order
systems.
Compared to the simplicity of a first-order system, a
second-order system exhibits a wide range of
responses that must be analyzed and described.
Varying a first-order system's parameters (T, K) simply
changes the speed and offset of the response
Whereas, changes in the parameters of a second-order
system can change the form of the response.
A second-order system can display characteristics
much like a first-order system or, depending on
component values, display damped or pure oscillations
for its transient response.

Two physically meaningful specifications for second-

Natural Frequency, ωn: The natural frequency of a
second-order system is the frequency of oscillation of
the system without damping.
For example, the frequency of oscillation of a series
RLC circuit with the resistance shorted would be the
natural frequency
Damping Ratio, It is the ratio of exponential decay
frequency of the envelope to the natural frequency. This

Without damping, the poles would be on the jω-axis, and the
response would be an un damped sinusoid. For the poles to
be purely imaginary, a = 0. Hence,
By definition, the natural frequency, ω, is the frequency of
oscillation of this system. Since the poles of this system are
on the jω-axis at ,

Solution:
From the TF ,
substituting the value of damping ratio
NB: The damping ratio and the natural frequency of
a system can be

unique behavior that have to be itemized;
Hence, a detailed description of the underdamped

imaginary part of the pole. Since horizontal lines on the
s-plane are lines of constant imaginary value, they are
also lines of constant peak time.
The settling time is inversely proportional to the real
part of the pole.
Since vertical lines on the s-plane are lines of constant
real value, they are also lines of constant settling time.
Finally, since ϛ = cosѳ, radial lines are lines of constant
ϛ
Since percent overshoot is only a function of ϛ, radial

Response of Second Order System
Adding pole for second order system:
If a system has more than two poles or has zeros, we
cannot use the formulas to calculate the performance
specifications that we derived.
However, under certain conditions, a system with more
than two poles or with zeros can be approximated as a
second-order system that has just two complex
dominant poles.
Then, the formulas for percent overshoot, settling time,
and peak time can be applied to these higher-order
systems by using the location of the dominant poles.

80. If (Case II), the pure exponential will die out much
more rapidly than the second-order underdamped step
response.
If the pure exponential term decays to an insignificant
value at the time of the first overshoot, such parameters
as percent overshoot, settling time, and peak time will
be generated by the second-order underdamped step
response component.
Thus, the total response will approach that of a pure
second order system (Case III).

81. NB: If αr is not much greater than (Case I), the real
pole's transient response will not decay to
insignificance at the peak time or settling time
generated by the second order pair.
In this case, the exponential decay is significant, and
the system cannot be represented as a second-order
system.
How much should further the additional real pole from
the dominant pole depends on the accuracy for which
we are looking. But most of the time five time constants.
Hence, the real pole should five times farther to the left
than the dominant poles, to represent the system by its
dominant second-order pair of poles.

greater its effect on the transient response. As the zero
moves away from the dominant poles, the response
approaches that of the two-pole system.

86. STEADY STATE ERROR
Steady State Response:
Control systems analysis and design focus on three
specifications:
(1) Transient response
(2) Steady-state errors
(3) Stability
Steady State Error: Steady-state error is the
difference between the input and the output for a
prescribed test input as t ∞.
E(s) = C(s) – R(s)

87. Steady state error for unity feedback system
It can be calculated from a system's closed-loop
transfer function, T(s), or the open-loop transfer
function, G(s), for unity feedback systems.

90. Any physical control system inherently suffers steady-state
error in response to certain types of inputs.
A system may have no steady-state error to a step input, but
the same system may exhibit nonzero steady-state error to a
ramp input.
Whether a given system will exhibit steady-state error for a
given type of input depends on the type of open-loop
transfer function of the system.
Classification of Control Systems
Control systems may be classified according to their ability
to follow step inputs, ramp inputs, parabolic inputs, and so
on.
The magnitudes of the steady-state errors due to these
individual inputs are indicative of the goodness of the
system.

91. Classification of Control Systems
Consider the unity-feedback control system with the
following open-loop transfer function
• It involves the term sN in the denominator,
representing N poles at the origin.
• A system is called type 0, type 1, type 2, ... , if
N=0, N=1, N=2, ... , respectively.
• As the type number is increased, accuracy is
improved.

However, increasing the type number aggravates the
stability problem.
A compromise between steady-state accuracy and
relative stability is always necessary.

94. Static Error Constants
The static error constants are figures of merit of control
systems. The higher the constants, the smaller the
steady-state error.
In a given system, the output may be the position,
velocity, pressure, temperature, or the like.
Therefore, in what follows, we shall call the output
“position,” the rate of change of the output “velocity,”
and so on.
This means that in a temperature control system
“position” represents the output temperature, “velocity”
represents the rate of change of the output
temperature, and so on.

105. STABILITY ANALYSIS
Stability: is the most important system specification.
If a system is unstable, transient response and steady
state response (i.e. steady state error) are nothing.
There are d/t definition of stability for a certain system
In general:
Stable: if natural response approaches zero as time
approaches infinity.
Unstable: if the natural response grow without bound
as time approaches infinity.
Marginal Stability: neither grows nor decay but remain
constant or oscillate.

106. An Other Definition:
A system is stable if every bounded input yields a
bounded output.
A system is unstable if any bounded input yields an
unbounded output. (we call it BIBO stability definition)
Stability and Roots of Characteristics Equation
Characteristics Equation: is the denominator of our
system transfer function. For instance for a second
order system,
Then, the roots will be:

107. Based on the system pole location definitions of
stability:
Stable systems have closed-loop transfer functions
with poles only on the left half-plane.
If the closed-loop system poles are on the right half of
the s-plane i.e. having a positive real part, the system is
unstable.
Thus the roots of the characteristics equation
determine the transient response of the system.

In general if any of the roots of the characteristics
equation has positive real parts, the system will be
unstable.

111. Routh Hurwitz Stability Criterion
Routh and Hurwitz give a method of indicating the
presence and number of unstable roots, but not their
value, using Routh table.
The Routh-Hurwitz criterion states that “the number of
roots of the characteristic equation with positive real
parts is equal to the number of changes in sign of the
first column of the Routh array”.
This method yields stability information without the
need to solve for the closed-loop system poles.
Using this method, we can tell how many closed-loop
system poles are in the left half-plane, in the right half-
plane, and on the jω-axis. (Note: we are saying how
many, not where.)

112. The method requires two steps:
1. Generate a data table called a Routh table.
2. interpret the Routh table to tell how many closed-loop
system poles are in the LHP, the RHP, and on the jw-axis.
The characteristic equation of the n -order continuous
system can be written as:
The stability criterion is applied using a Routh table
which is defined as:

How to generate Routh Table:
First label the rows with powers of s from highest power
of s down to lowest power of s in a vertical column.
Next form the first row of the Routh table, using the
coefficients of the denominator of the closed-loop
transfer function (characteristic equation).

114. Start with the coefficient of the highest power and skip
every other power of s.
Now form the second row with the coefficients of the
denominator skipped in the previous step.
The table is continued horizontally and vertically until
zeros are obtained.
For convenience, any row can be multiplied or divide
by a positive constant before the next row is computed
without changing the values of the rows below and
disturbing the properties of the Routh table.

115. Routh Table Interpretation
If the closed-loop transfer function has all poles in the
left half of the s-plane, the system is stable. Thus, a
system is stable if there are no sign changes in the first
column of the Routh table.
The Routh-Hurwitz criterion declares that the number
of roots of the polynomial that are lies in the right half-
plane is equal to the number of sign changes in the first
column.
Hence the system is unstable if the poles lies on the
right hand side of the s-plane.

116. For there to be no roots with positive real parts then
there is necessary, but not sufficient, condition that all
coefficients in the characteristics equation have the
same sign and that none are zero.
If the above is satisfied, the necessary and sufficient
condition for stability is all coefficients of the first column
of Routh array have the same sign. The number of sign
changes indicate the number of unstable roots.

If ϵ is chosen positive, the table shows a sign change
from the s³ row to the s² row, and there will be another
sign change from the s² row to the s row. Hence, the

121. Case-II: Entire Row is Zero
Sometimes while making a Routh table, we find that an
entire row consists of zeros.
This happen because there is an even polynomial that
is a factor of the original polynomial.
This case must be handled differently from the case of
a zero in only the first column of a row.
