Continuous-time state-space model.
y1 =
-s/(- s^2 + 2*s + 1)
y2 =
(4*s)/(4*s^2 + 4*s + 5)
b) Design an observer to estimate the state of the system.
Answer:
4.
5.
6. c) For part (a), imagine you only have access to the output y(t). Use the observer that you
designed in part (b), to feedback the estimated state and control the system. Find the state
space representation of the closed loop system, which includes both the controller and the
observer.
Answer:
7. d) In part (c), use MATLAB to plot the response of the system to see whether y(t)
asymptotically tracks the reference signal r(t).
Answer:
8. e) Compare the results in part (d) and (a).
The stability of a linear system may be determined directly from its transfer function. An nth
order linear system is asymptotically stable only if all of the components in the homogeneous
response from a finite set of initial conditions decay to zero as time increases. As we can see,
part a is stable compared to the part d.
