A continuous-time Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system defined for the purpose of this page will be

$ \ w(t) = 5v(t) $

where v(t) is an input signal dependent on the parameter of time.

The unit impulse response of the system would then simply be

$ \ w(t) = 5\delta(t) $

and the system function H(s) of the system, where

$ \ s = j\omega $

can be determined by taking the Laplace Transform of the system's unit impulse response, h(t).

$ \ L[h(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} h(t)e^{-st}\, dt $

$ \ L[h(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} 5\delta(t)e^{-st}\, dt $

$ \ L[h(t)] = 5\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \delta(t)e^{-st}\, dt $

$ \ L[h(t)] = 5\int_{-\infty}^{0^-} \delta(t)e^{-st}\, dt + 5\int_{0^-}^{+\infty} \delta(t)e^{-st}\, dt $

$ \ L[h(t)] = 5\int_{0^-}^{+\infty} \delta(t)e^{-st}\, dt $

$ \ L[h(t)] = \left [ \frac{a}{b} \right ] \quad \left \lbrack \frac{a}{b} \right \rbrack $
