3: Linear System Response
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
- 3.3: Transient Response
- The transient response of an element or system is its output as a function of time following the application of a specified input. The test signal chosen to excite the transient response of the system may be either an input that is anticipated in normal operation, or it may be a mathematical abstraction selected because of the insight it lends to system behavior. Commonly used test signals include the impulse and time integrals of this function.
