scipy.signal.impulse#
- scipy.signal.impulse(system, X0=None, T=None, N=None)[source]#
Impulse response of continuous-time system.
- Parameters
- systeman instance of the LTI class or a tuple of array_like
describing the system. The following gives the number of elements in the tuple and the interpretation:
1 (instance of
lti
)2 (num, den)
3 (zeros, poles, gain)
4 (A, B, C, D)
- X0array_like, optional
Initial state-vector. Defaults to zero.
- Tarray_like, optional
Time points. Computed if not given.
- Nint, optional
The number of time points to compute (if T is not given).
- Returns
- Tndarray
A 1-D array of time points.
- youtndarray
A 1-D array containing the impulse response of the system (except for singularities at zero).
Notes
If (num, den) is passed in for
system
, coefficients for both the numerator and denominator should be specified in descending exponent order (e.g.s^2 + 3s + 5
would be represented as[1, 3, 5]
).Examples
Compute the impulse response of a second order system with a repeated root:
x''(t) + 2*x'(t) + x(t) = u(t)
>>> from scipy import signal >>> system = ([1.0], [1.0, 2.0, 1.0]) >>> t, y = signal.impulse(system) >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt >>> plt.plot(t, y)
