Problem 1

K ( 1s  1)
i. Derive the pulse transfer function for the lead-lag system g ( s )  with the
 2s 1
zero order hold and sample time t. (Hint: use Table C.2, Textbook, page 1202). What is
the steady sate gain of the pulse transfer function?

ii. If K  5,  1  10,  2  4, and t  0.1 for a unit step change, verify that the response of
the discrete time system matches that of the continuous time system at the sample points.
Verify the difference if t  1 .

Problem 2

For the transfer function shown below, determine the corresponding pulse transfer function for
the system and a zero-order hold using Table C.2 on page 1202 of the textbook. The sample time
is t  0.5 . You can use the command “c2d” in MATLAB to check your result but you must
show you work without using “c2d” first to get full mark.
