2. Creating Zero-Pole-Gain Models
Learning the basics of zero-pole-gain
models to explore the mathematical
representation of systems and how to
create a transfer function.
3. What are Zeros, Poles, and Gains?
Zeros
In a transfer function, zeros are the values
of s that cause the numerator to be zero.
Poles
In a transfer function, poles are the values
of s that cause the denominator to be
zero.
Gains
In a transfer function, the gain is the
constant that multiplies the transfer
function.
Why do we care?
Understanding zeros, poles, and gains
allows us to analyze the behavior of
systems and design controllers to achieve
desired performance.
4. Mathematical Representation of a
System
1
State Space Model
A mathematical model that describes how
a system evolves over time in response to
inputs.
2
Transfer Function
A mathematical model that relates the
output of a system to its input.
3
Block Diagram
A graphical representation of a system that
shows its inputs, outputs, and internal
components.
5. How to Create a Transfer Function
Formulate a
differential equation
that relates the
output of a system to
its input.
Take the Laplace
transform of the
differential equation.
Manipulate the
Laplace transform to
obtain the transfer
function.
6. Types of Transfer Functions
1 Proper Transfer
Function
A transfer function where
the degree of the
numerator polynomial is
less than or equal to the
degree of the denominator
polynomial.
2 Strictly Proper
Transfer
Function
A transfer function where
the degree of the
numerator polynomial is
strictly less than the
degree of the denominator
polynomial.
3 Non-Proper
Transfer
Function
A transfer function where
the degree of the
numerator polynomial is
greater than the degree of
the denominator
polynomial.
4 Real and
Complex
Transfer
Function
A transfer function where
the coefficients of the
numerator and
denominator polynomials
are real or complex
numbers.
