# Transfer Function Models

Transfer function models

Transfer function models describe the relationship between the inputs and outputs of a system using a ratio of polynomials. The model order is equal to the order of the denominator polynomial. The roots of the denominator polynomial are referred to as the model poles. The roots of the numerator polynomial are referred to as the model zeros.

The parameters of a transfer function model are its poles, zeros and transport delays.

In continuous-time, a transfer function model has the form:

`$Y\left(s\right)=\frac{num\left(s\right)}{den\left(s\right)}U\left(s\right)+E\left(s\right)$`

Here, Y(s), U(s) and E(s) represent the Laplace transforms of the output, input and noise, respectively. num(s) and den(s) represent the numerator and denominator polynomials that define the relationship between the input and the output.
