— Function File: [num, den] = ss2tf (a, b, c, d)

Conversion from tranfer function to state-space. The state space system:

                .
                x = Ax + Bu
                y = Cx + Du
     

is converted to a transfer function:

          
                          num(s)
                    G(s)=-------
                          den(s)
     

used internally in system data structure format manipulations.

— Function File: [pol, zer, k] = ss2zp (a, b, c, d)

Converts a state space representation to a set of poles and zeros; k is a gain associated with the zeros.

Used internally in system data structure format manipulations.

— Function File: starp (P, K, ny, nu)

Redheffer star product or upper/lower LFT, respectively.

          
                         +-------+
               --------->|       |--------->
                         |   P   |
                    +--->|       |---+  ny
                    |    +-------+   |
                    +-------------------+
                                     |  |
                    +----------------+  |
                    |                   |
                    |    +-------+      |
                    +--->|       |------+ nu
                         |   K   |
               --------->|       |--------->
                         +-------+
     

If ny and nu “consume” all inputs and outputs of K then the result is a lower fractional transformation. If ny and nu “consume” all inputs and outputs of P then the result is an upper fractional transformation.

ny and/or nu may be negative (i.e. negative feedback).

— Function File: [a, b, c, d] = tf2ss (num, den)

Conversion from tranfer function to state-space. The state space system:

                .
                x = Ax + Bu
                y = Cx + Du
     

is obtained from a transfer function:

                          num(s)
                    G(s)=-------
                          den(s)
     

The vector den must contain only one row, whereas the vector num may contain as many rows as there are outputs y of the system. The state space system matrices obtained from this function will be in controllable canonical form as described in Modern Control Theory, (Brogan, 1991).

— Function File: [zer, pol, k] = tf2zp (num, den)

Converts transfer functions to poles-and-zero representations.

Returns the zeros and poles of the SISO system defined by num/den. k is a gain associated with the system zeros.

— Function File: [a, b, c, d] = zp2ss (zer, pol, k)

Conversion from zero / pole to state space.

Inputs

pol

Vectors of (possibly) complex poles and zeros of a transfer function. Complex values must come in conjugate pairs (i.e., x+jy in zer means that x-jy is also in zer). The number of zeros must not exceed the number of poles.

Outputs

a

b

c

d

The state space system, in the form:

                    .
                    x = Ax + Bu
                    y = Cx + Du
          

— Function File: [num, den] = zp2tf (zer, pol, k)

Converts zeros / poles to a transfer function.
