6. WAVEFORM SYNTHESIS USING LAPLACE TRANSFORM
6.1 Aim:
To perform waveform synthesis using Laplace Transforms of a given signal.

6.2 System requirements:

Table 6.1 Tabulation for system requirements
Computer PC with Windows OS
Configuration Minimum of Intel i3 With 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD

6.3 Software required:

Table 6.2 Tabulation for software required
Name Version
MATLAB Version-9 or Above.

6.4. Theory:
Bilateral Laplace transform:
When one says "the Laplace transform" without qualification, the unilateral or one-sided
transform is normally intended. The Laplace transform can be alternatively defined as the bilateral
Laplace transform or two-sided Laplace transform by extending the limits of integration to be the
entire real axis. If that is done the common unilateral transform simply becomes a special case of the
bilateral transform where the definition of the function being transformed is multiplied by the
Heaviside step function.

6.5 Procedure:
1. Open MATLAB
2. Open new M-file
3. Type the program
4. Save in current directory
5. Compile the program, rectify the errors if any. and run the program
6. For the output see command window\Figure window
