Title: 20.6 Transfer Functions
Course: HELM Workbooks 2023-2024 > Section: HELM 20: Laplace Transforms

In this Section we introduce the concept of a transfer function and then use this to obtain a Laplace transform model of a linear engineering system. (A linear engineering system is one modelled by a constant coefficient ordinary differential equation.) We shall also see how to obtain the impulse response of a linear system and hence to construct the general response by use of the convolution theorem.
