Module 4 : Laplace and Z Transform
Lecture 30 : Laplace Transform

Consider another example on ROC:

Let us consider another example which illustrates the need to specify ROC for completely defining the Laplace transform of a given function:

h1(t) =  et u(t)          h2(t) = -et u(-t)

We will use the concepts gathered till now to determine the ROC's of the above signals after computing the respective Laplace Transforms.

         [ROC for this is given by Re(s) > 1]



                                               
                                 [ Thus the ROC of H2(s) is given by  Re(s) < 1;provided Re(1-s) > 0]


Thus, two different functions may have same expressions but correspond to different ROC.

ROC's are given as:
