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:

    The old-fashioned idea that the simple piling up of experiences, one on top of another, can make you an artist, is, of course, so much rubbish. If acting were just a matter of experience, then any busy harlot could make Garbo’s Camille pale.
    Helen Hayes (1900–1993)

    There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    “To my thinking” boomed the Professor, begging the question as usual, “the greatest triumph of the human mind was the calculation of Neptune from the observed vagaries of the orbit of Uranus.”
    “And yours,” said the P.B.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    A fallen tree does not rise again.

    Most women without children spend much more time than men on housework; with children, they devote more time to both housework and child care. Just as there is a wage gap between men and women in the workplace, there is a “leisure gap” between them at home. Most women work one shift at the office or factory and a “second shift” at home.
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
