LAB SESSION 08
OBJECT:
To learn commands in MATLAB that would be used to reduce linear systems block diagram
using series, parallel and feedback configuration.

THEORY:
 Series Configuration:
 If the two blocks are connected as shown below then the blocks are said to be
in series.

It would like multiplying two transfer functions.

The MATLAB command for the such configuration is “series”.
The series command is implemented as shown below:

Parallel configuration: If the two blocks are connected as shown below then the blocks
are said to be in parallel. It would like adding two transfer functions.

It would like adding two transfer functions.

The MATLAB command for the such configuration is “parallel”.
The parallel command is implemented as shown below:

Feedback Configuration:
If the blocks are connected as shown below then the blocks are said to be in feedback.

Notice that in the feedback there is no transfer function H(s) defined.

Such a system is said to be a unity feedback system.
The MATLAB command for implementing a feedback system is “feedback”.

The feedback command is implemented as shown below:

When H(s) is non-unity or specified, such a system is said to be a non-unity feedback system as
shown below:

PROCEDURE:
Task 1:
Given the transfer functions of individual blocks generate the system transfer function of the
block combination.

Task 2:
Given a unity feedback system as shown in the figure, obtain the overall transfer function using
MATLAB:

Task 3:
Given a non-unity feedback system as shown in the figure, obtain the overall transfer function
using MATLAB:

Task4: Given a system transfer function plot the location of the system zeros and poles using the
MATLAB pole-zero map command

Poles and Zeros of System:To obtain the poles and zeros of the system use the MATLAB
command “pole” and “zero”. You can also use MATLAB command “pzmap” to obtain the
same.
