State Space Representation

1. Draw the linear electric circuit of fig. below in state variable form.
Consider

e1

and

e2

as input

v1

and

v2

as outputs and hence find

the quadruplet matrices (A, B, C, D).

2. Construct the state model for a system characterised by the differential

equation.

Also give the block diagram representation of state model.

3. Find the state model of following transfer function by using cascade

decomposition.

=
u (s) ( s+1) (s+2) (s+3)

4. Construct the state model in Jordans canonical form for a system whose
transfer function is given by
y ( s)

5. Construct the signal flow graph and state model for a system whose
transfer function is

y ( s)
s2 +3 s +3
= 3
u (s) s +2 s 2+5 s+1

6. The transfer function of a system is given by

y ( s)
s+1
=
u ( s ) ( s +2 )( s+3 )( s+ 4 )

block diagram.
