Question 1

A system is described by the two differential equations:

dydt+y-2u+aω=0

dωdt+by+4u=0

Where ω and y are functions of time and u is an input u(t).

a) Identify a set of state variables

b) Write the matrix differential equations and specify the elements of the matrices
c) Find the characteristic roots of the system in the parameters a and b

Question 2

A unity feedback system is having an open loop transfer function:

Gs=1s+3(s+4)

Solve the followings by hand calculation and using MATLAB:

a) Obtain closed-loop transfer function

b) Obtain a state model
c) Using the state model, obatin the unit step response

Question 3

Consider the circuit shown below:

a) Determine the state variable representation when R1=1kΩ, R2=10kΩ, C1=0.5mF and
C2=0.1mF
b) Using the state variable representation from part(a), plot the unit step response with the
step function.
