Analog system response using ODE solvers February 21

    Part II. Assignment Preparatory notes | Assignment

Use Matlab, as explained in the preparatory notes, to numerically evaluate the zero-state, zero-input, and total response for each of the analog systems described by the following differential equations :

         System equation Excitation Initial Conditions Solve for
(a) y''(t) + 5y'(t) + 6y(t) = x(t);    x(t) = 6u(t);    y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 1;    0 ≤ t ≤ 10.
(b) y''(t) + 5y'(t) + 6y(t) = x(t);    x(t) = 2e-tu(t);    y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 1;    0 ≤ t ≤ 8.
(c) y''(t) + 4y'(t) + 3y(t) = x(t);    x(t) = 36tu(t);    y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 1;    0 ≤ t ≤ 2.
(d) y''(t) + 4y'(t) + 4y(t) = x(t);    x(t) = 2e-2tu(t);    y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 1;    0 ≤ t ≤ 5.
(e) y''(t) + 4y'(t) + 4y(t) = x(t);    x(t) = 8cos(2t)u(t);    y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 1;    0 ≤ t ≤ 10.
(f) y'''(t) + 4y''(t) + 5y'(t) + 2y(t) = x(t);    x(t) = e-2tu(t);    y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 1, y''(0) = 0;    0 ≤ t ≤ 10.

In each case, obtain the three responses separately for the indicated interval of time, and plot them in one figure, on the same time axis. Comment on the results. In particular, can you verify the initial conditions from your plots? Do the zero-state and zero-input responses seem to add up to the total response? Can you identify the transient and steady-state responses in your plots?

Turn in all plots, Matlab scripts and functions. Include your comments and answers to questions.
