Rise Time - Simple Examples of Calculation of Rise Time

Simple Examples of Calculation of Rise Time

The aim of this section is the calculation of rise time of step response for some simple systems: all notations and assumptions required for the following analysis are listed here.

  • is the rise time of the analyzed system, measured in seconds.
  • is the low frequency cutoff (-3 dB point) of the analyzed system, measured in hertz.
  • is high frequency cutoff (-3 dB point) of the analyzed system, measured in hertz.
  • is the impulse response of the analyzed system in the time domain.
  • is the frequency response of the analyzed system in the frequency domain.
  • The bandwidth is defined as
and since the low frequency cutoff is usually several decades lower than the high frequency cutoff ,
  • All systems analyzed here have a frequency response which extends to 0 (low-pass systems), thus
exactly.
  • All systems analyzed are thought as electrical networks and all the signals are thought as voltages for the sake of simplicity: the input is a step function of volts.

Famous quotes containing the words simple, examples, calculation, rise and/or time:

    I went to a very militantly Republican grammar school and, under its influence, began to revolt against the Establishment, on the simple rule of thumb, highly satisfying to a ten-year-old, that Irish equals good, English equals bad.
    Bernadette Devlin (b. 1947)

    No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
    André Breton (1896–1966)

    Common sense is the measure of the possible; it is composed of experience and prevision; it is calculation appled to life.
    Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    Thou gav’st me life, but mortal; for that one
    Favour I’ll make full satisfaction:
    For my life mortal, rise from out thy hearse,
    And take a life immortal from my verse.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    All the time I feel I must justify my existence.
    Prince Charles (b. 1948)
