Reduction of Multiple
Subsystems
• How to reduce a block diagram of multiple subsystems to a single
block representing the transfer function from input to output

• How to analyze and design transient response for a system consisting
of multiple subsystems

• How to represent in state space a system consisting of multiple
subsystems

• How to convert between alternate representations of a system in state
space

Parallel Form

Note that the equations are decoupled
(each state equation is function of only one state variable)


26

Parallel Form

-in case of repeated roots the matrix A will not
be diagonal


27
Controller Canonical Form
- used in controller design
- obtained from phase variable form by reversing the ordering of the phase
variables

Phase variable form:

Note: System matrices that contain the coefficients of the characteristic
polynomial are called companion matrices

Observer Canonical Form
- Used in the design of observers

If a system is described by A, B, C then its dual system is described by: AD = AT
BD = CT
x = Ax + Bu
& x = A D x + B Du
& CD = BT
y = Cx y = CD x
