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.

    “The good old rule
    Sufficeth them, the simple plan,
    That they should take, who have the power,
    And they should keep who can.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “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)

    “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)

    “Oppression that is clearly inexorable and invincible does not give rise to revolt but to submission.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    “The manuscript lay like a dust-rag on his desk, and Eitel found, as he had found before, that the difficulty of art was that it forced a man back on his life, and each time the task was more difficult and distasteful.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
