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:

    This is my letter to the World
    That never wrote to Me—
    The simple News that Nature told—
    With tender Majesty.
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “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)

    Our children do not want models of perfection, neither do they want us to be buddies, friends, or confidants who never rise above their own levels of maturity and experience. We need to walk that middle ground between perfection and peerage, between intense meddling and apathy—the middle ground where our values, standards, and expectations can be shared with our children.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)

    And who in time knowes whither we may vent
    The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores
    This gaine of our best glorie shal be sent,
    T’inrich unknowing Nations with our stores?
    What worlds in th’yet unformed Occident
    May come refin’d with th’accents that are ours?
    Samuel Daniel (c. 1562–1619)
