tf2ss

Convert transfer function filter parameters to state-space form.

📝 Syntax

• [A, B, C, D] = tf2ss(b, a)

📥 Input argument

• b - Transfer function numerator coefficients: vector or matrix.

• a - Transfer function denominator coefficients: vector.

📤 Output argument

• A (n x n) - Represents the system's state-transition matrix. It describes how the system's internal state evolves over time.

• B (n x m) - Describes the input-to-state mapping. It shows how control inputs affect the change in the system's state.

• C (p x n) - Represents the state-to-output mapping. It shows how the system's state variables are related to the system's outputs.

• D (p x m) - Describes the direct feedthrough from inputs to outputs. In many systems, this matrix is zero because there is no direct feedthrough.

📄 Description

[A, B, C, D] = tf2ss(b, a) transforms a single-input transfer function, either continuous-time or discrete-time, into an equivalent state-space representation.

💡 Example

Fs = 6;
dt = 1/Fs;
b = [1 -(1+cos(dt)) cos(dt)];
a = [1 -3*cos(dt) 1];
[A, B, C, D] = tf2ss(b, a)
