 Unit step response of discrete time system

This example shows how to obtain a step-response plot and step-response

data for a discrete-time dynamic system model. Assume that the pulse
transfer function of the plant with zero order hold is given as:
( )
( )
( )( )

And the designed controller is given by

( )
( )
( )

The following simulation is used to find the unit step response of the

closed loop system

The following response is shown below:
