Partial fraction
decomposition is used to convert a fraction with multiple factors in the denominator into a sum of terms, with one
term for each factor and a constant in the numerator. Doing so simplifies integration and differentiation.
Example:
Note: If poles of X (t) are of multiple order, then
include a term for each order; i.e., if (t-1)2 is in the denominator (a pole), then include both (t-1)
and (t-2)2 terms.
RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
