The state-space method is the modern approach for control system design and analysis.
The controllability and observability are important structural properties of a control
system. The controllability and observability analysis below can be used to check
whether the system is controllable or observable. The controllability and observability
staircase are useful when the system has uncontrollable or unobservable states. The function
grammian computes the controllability and observability grammians of a state-space model.
Pole placement design is one of the attractive feature of the state-space design method.
It allows us to place closed-loop poles to locations that will correspond to desired dynamic
response. Given the state equation
places the
closed-loop poles at the desired locations.
