# Dealing with Root objects in the result of a Fourier transform of a complex impedance [duplicate]

I have a complex impedance which I want to back transform into the time domain. My attempt in MM is:

InverseFourierTransform[1/((I \[Omega] Cs)/(1 - Cs Ls \[Omega]^2) + 1/Rp + I \[Omega] Cp + 1/(I \[Omega] Lp)), \[Omega], t, Assumptions->Cp > 0 && Lp > 0 && Cs > 0 && Ls > 0 && Rp > 0]


However this spits out some nasty expressions expressions with Root[...] arguments, but given how nasty the current output is, or, I'm not sure how to deal with the output.

The objective is I want to weight the 'time-transient impedance' and then then Fourier transform it back into the frequency domain to see what my weighting does.

• You can use ToRadicals to get more familiar notation, but the result is far uglier. Symbolic expressions for temporal behavior of coupled resonators are generally extremely complicated. That's just mathematics: there is no cure. – John Doty Aug 6 at 14:42

EDIT

There something wrong below (...~p~... should be replace simply by ...+... ?). I will see that later

EDIT 2

I'm entering difficulties : once my error corrected, I have the root objects. (Nothing glorious in fact.)

Apparently you are calculating the transient response of this :

Here is how I would do it :

x_ ~p~ y_ := x y /(x + y) (* definition of a "parallel operator on impedances *)

ti00 = (1/(Lp s)) ~p~ (Cp s) ~p~ (Rp)~p~ (1/(1/(Ls s) + (Cs s))) //
Expand // Together (* this is the circuit above *)

tf = TransferFunctionModel[{{ti00}}, s]

OutputResponse[tf, UnitStep[t], t] (* litteral output response *)

(* example of numeric output response to a unit step (not a dirac) : *)
outR00 = OutputResponse[
tf /. {Lp -> 1, Cp -> 1, Rp -> 1, Ls -> 1, Cs -> 1},
UnitStep[t], {t, 0, 10}]

Plot[outR00 , {t, 0, 10}]


Note : The stimulus is a voltage step. The response is a the current.

• The schematic was created with a tool used on ElectricalEngineering Stack Exchange. (Very convenient) – andre314 Aug 6 at 13:56
• This is absolutely glorious. – Q.P. Aug 6 at 15:13
• One final question, once I weight my data, I actually want to apply a Hanning window, how would one transform back into the frequency domain? – Q.P. Aug 6 at 15:35

• Okay, maybe I will ask on the EESE -- Thanks!! – Q.P. Aug 6 at 17:41
