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.

“Creative force, like a musical composer, goes on unweariedly repeating a simple air or theme, now high, now low, in solo, in chorus, ten thousand times reverberated, till it fills earth and heaven with the chant.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
“He is the old hunting dog of the sea
who in the morning will rise from it
and be undrowned
and they will take his perfect green body
and paint it red.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.”
