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 would like a simple life
yet all night I am laying
poems away in a long box.
It is my immortality box,
my lay-away plan,
my coffin.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
““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)
“Oppression that is clearly inexorable and invincible does not give rise to revolt but to submission.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“O Time and Change!—with hair as gray
As was my sire’s that winter day,
How strange it seems, with so much gone
Of life and love, to still live on!”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
