Pulse TF matrix (G = [3 1; −2 1], D = [1; 0])

Short answer

Pulse transfer function matrix is F(z) = C(zI-G)^{-1}H + D. For given matrices, F(z) = [z(z-2)/(z^2-4z+5); (3z-5)/(z^2-4z+5)]. Poles at z=2±j1 (|z|=√5>1), system unstable.

Determine pulse transfer function matrix for the system which is described by state space representation as: [x₁(k+1); x₂(k+1)]=[3 1; -2 1][x₁(k); x₂(k)]+[1; 1]u(k) and [y₁(k); y₂(k)]=[1 1; 2 1][x₁(k); x₂(k)]+[1; 0]u(k).

The pulse transfer function matrix is F(z)=C(zI−G)−1H+D\mathbf{F}(z) = \mathbf{C}(z\mathbf{I}-\mathbf{G})^{-1}\mathbf{H} + \mathbf{D}. There is one input and two outputs, so F(z)\mathbf{F}(z) is 2×1.

Given

G=[31−21],H=[11],C=[1121],D=[10]\mathbf{G} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ -2 & 1 \end{bmatrix},\quad \mathbf{H} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix},\quad \mathbf{C} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix},\quad \mathbf{D} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}

Step 1: Inverse of zI−Gz\mathbf{I}-\mathbf{G}

zI−G=[z−3−12z−1],∣zI−G∣=(z−3)(z−1)+2=z2−4z+5z\mathbf{I}-\mathbf{G} = \begin{bmatrix} z-3 & -1 \\ 2 & z-1 \end{bmatrix},\qquad |z\mathbf{I}-\mathbf{G}| = (z-3)(z-1) + 2 = z^2 - 4z + 5 (zI−G)−1=1z2−4z+5[z−11−2z−3](z\mathbf{I}-\mathbf{G})^{-1} = \frac{1}{z^2-4z+5}\begin{bmatrix} z-1 & 1 \\ -2 & z-3 \end{bmatrix}

Step 2: Multiply by H

(zI−G)−1H=1z2−4z+5[zz−5](z\mathbf{I}-\mathbf{G})^{-1}\mathbf{H} = \frac{1}{z^2-4z+5}\begin{bmatrix} z \\ z-5 \end{bmatrix}

Step 3: Multiply by C

C(zI−G)−1H=1z2−4z+5[z+(z−5)2z+(z−5)]=1z2−4z+5[2z−53z−5]\mathbf{C}(z\mathbf{I}-\mathbf{G})^{-1}\mathbf{H} = \frac{1}{z^2-4z+5}\begin{bmatrix} z + (z-5) \\ 2z + (z-5) \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{z^2-4z+5}\begin{bmatrix} 2z-5 \\ 3z-5 \end{bmatrix}

Step 4: Add D

F1(z)=2z−5z2−4z+5+1=z2−2zz2−4z+5F2(z)=3z−5z2−4z+5\begin{aligned} F_1(z) &= \frac{2z-5}{z^2-4z+5} + 1 = \frac{z^2-2z}{z^2-4z+5}\\ F_2(z) &= \frac{3z-5}{z^2-4z+5} \end{aligned}

Result

F(z)=[z(z−2)z2−4z+53z−5z2−4z+5]\mathbf{F}(z) = \begin{bmatrix} \dfrac{z(z-2)}{z^2-4z+5} \\[3mm] \dfrac{3z-5}{z^2-4z+5} \end{bmatrix}

The poles are z=2±j1z = 2 \pm j1 (∣z∣=5>1|z| = \sqrt5 > 1), so the system is unstable.

Answer: Y1(z)/U(z)=z2−2zz2−4z+5Y_1(z)/U(z) = \dfrac{z^2-2z}{z^2-4z+5}, Y2(z)/U(z)=3z−5z2−4z+5Y_2(z)/U(z) = \dfrac{3z-5}{z^2-4z+5}
