Everything about Transfer function

Function specifying the behavior of a component in an electronic or control system

In engineering, a transfer function of a system, sub-system, or component is a mathematical function that models the system's output for each possible input. It is widely used in electronic engineering tools like circuit simulators and control systems and in chemical reaction engineering for the study and modeling of the residence time distribution and stability of a reactor. In simple cases, this function can be represented as a two-dimensional graph of an independent scalar input versus the dependent scalar output. Transfer functions for components are used to design and analyze systems assembled from components, particularly using the block diagram technique, in electronics and control theory. Wikipedia →
