Zero-pole-gain model
expand all in page
Description
Use zpk
to create zero-pole-gain models, or to convert dynamic system models to zero-pole-gain form.
Zero-pole-gain models are a representation of transfer functions in factorized form. For example, consider the following continuous-time SISO transfer function:
G(s)
can be factorized into the zero-pole-gain form as:
A more general representation of the SISO zero-pole-gain model is as follows:
Here, z and p are the vectors of real-valued or complex-valued zeros and poles, and k is the real-valued or complex-valued scalar gain. For MIMO models, each I/O channel is represented by one such transfer function hij(s).
You can create a zero-pole-gain model object either by specifying the poles, zeros and gains directly, or by converting a model of another type (such as a state-space model ss
) to zero-pole-gain form.
You can also use zpk
to create generalized state-space (genss) models or uncertain state-space (uss (Robust Control Toolbox)) models.
Creation
Syntax
sys = zpk(zeros,poles,gain)
sys = zpk(zeros,poles,gain,ts)
sys = zpk(zeros,poles,gain,ltiSys)
sys = zpk(m)
sys = zpk(___,Name,Value)
sys = zpk(ltiSys)
sys = zpk(ltiSys,component)
s = zpk('s')
z = zpk('z',ts)
Description
example
sys = zpk(zeros,poles,gain)
creates a continuous-time zero-pole-gain model with zeros
and poles
specified as vectors and the scalar value of gain
. The output sys
is a zpk
model object storing the model data. Set zeros
or poles
to []
for systems without zeros or poles. These two inputs need not have equal length and the model need not be proper (that is, have an excess of poles).
example
sys = zpk(zeros,poles,gain,ts)
creates a discrete-time zero-pole-gain model with sample time ts
. Set ts
to -1
or []
to leave the sample time unspecified.
example
sys = zpk(zeros,poles,gain,ltiSys)
creates a zero-pole-gain model with properties inherited from the dynamic system model ltiSys
, including the sample time.
example
sys = zpk(m)
creates a zero-pole-gain model that represents the static gain, m
.
example
sys = zpk(___,Name,Value)
sets Properties of the zero-pole-gain model using one or more name-value pair arguments to set additional properties of the model. This syntax works with any of the previous input-argument combinations.
example
sys = zpk(ltiSys)
converts the dynamic system model ltiSys
to a zero-pole-gain model.
example
sys = zpk(ltiSys,component)
converts the specified component
of ltiSys
to zero-pole-gain model form. Use this syntax only when ltiSys
is an identified linear time-invariant (LTI) model such as an idss
or an idtf
model.
example
s = zpk('s')
creates a special variable s
that you can use in a rational expression to create a continuous-time zero-pole-gain model. Using a rational expression is sometimes easier and more intuitive than specifying polynomial coefficients.
example
z = zpk('z',ts)
creates special variable z
that you can use in a rational expression to create a discrete-time zero-pole-gain model. To leave the sample time unspecified, set ts
input argument to -1
.

SamplingGrid
— Sampling grid for model arrays
structure array
Sampling grid for model arrays, specified as a structure array.
Use SamplingGrid
to track the variable values associated with each model in a model array, including identified linear time-invariant (IDLTI) model arrays.
Set the field names of the structure to the names of the sampling variables. Set the field values to the sampled variable values associated with each model in the array. All sampling variables must be numeric scalars, and all arrays of sampled values must match the dimensions of the model array.
For example, you can create an 11-by-1 array of linear models, sysarr
, by taking snapshots of a linear time-varying system at times t = 0:10
. The following code stores the time samples with the linear models.
sysarr.SamplingGrid = struct('time',0:10)
Similarly, you can create a 6-by-9 model array, M
, by independently sampling two variables, zeta
and w
. The following code maps the (zeta,w)
values to M
.
[zeta,w] = ndgrid(<6 values of zeta>,<9 values of w>)M.SamplingGrid = struct('zeta',zeta,'w',w)
When you display M
, each entry in the array includes the corresponding zeta
and w
values.
M(:,:,1,1) [zeta=0.3, w=5] = 25 -------------- s^2 + 3 s + 25 M(:,:,2,1) [zeta=0.35, w=5] = 25 ---------------- s^2 + 3.5 s + 25 ...
For model arrays generated by linearizing a Simulink® model at multiple parameter values or operating points, the software populates SamplingGrid
automatically with the variable values that correspond to each entry in the array. For instance, the Simulink Control Design™ commands linearize (Simulink Control Design) and slLinearizer (Simulink Control Design) populate SamplingGrid
automatically.
By default, SamplingGrid
is a structure with no fields.

models. In general, any function applicable to Dynamic System Models is applicable to a zpk
object.

Create the state-space model using the state-space matrices.
A = [-2 -1;1 -2];B = [1 1;2 -1];C = [1 0];D = [0 1];ltiSys = ss(A,B,C,D);
Convert the state-space model ltiSys
to a zero-pole-gain model.
sys = zpk(ltiSys)
sys = From input 1 to output: s -------------- (s^2 + 4s + 5) From input 2 to output: (s^2 + 5s + 8) -------------- (s^2 + 4s + 5) Continuous-time zero/pole/gain model.
Array of Zero-Pole-Gain Models
Open Live Script
You can use a for
loop to specify an array of zero-pole-gain models.
First, pre-allocate the zero-pole-gain model array with zeros.
sys = zpk(zeros(1,1,3));
The first two indices represent the number of outputs and inputs for the models, while the third index is the number of models in the array.
Create the zero-pole-gain model array using a rational expression in the for
loop.
s = zpk('s'); for k = 1:3 sys(:,:,k) = k/(s^2+s+k); endsys
sys(:,:,1,1) = 1 ------------- (s^2 + s + 1) sys(:,:,2,1) = 2 ------------- (s^2 + s + 2) sys(:,:,3,1) = 3 ------------- (s^2 + s + 3) 3x1 array of continuous-time zero/pole/gain models.
Extract Zero-Pole-Gain Models from Identified Model
Open Live Script
For this example, extract the measured and noise components of an identified polynomial model into two separate zero-pole-gain models.
Load the Box-Jenkins polynomial model ltiSys
in identifiedModel.mat
.
load('identifiedModel.mat','ltiSys');
ltiSys
is an identified discrete-time model of the form: , where represents the measured component and the noise component.
Extract the measured and noise components as zero-pole-gain models.
sysMeas = zpk(ltiSys,'measured')
sysMeas = From input "u1" to output "y1": -0.14256 z^-1 (1-1.374z^-1) z^(-2) * ----------------------------- (1-0.8789z^-1) (1-0.6958z^-1) Sample time: 0.04 secondsDiscrete-time zero/pole/gain model.
sysNoise = zpk(ltiSys,'noise')
sysNoise = From input "v@y1" to output "y1": 0.045563 (1+0.7245z^-1) -------------------------------------------- (1-0.9658z^-1) (1 - 0.0602z^-1 + 0.2018z^-2) Input groups: Name Channels Noise 1 Sample time: 0.04 secondsDiscrete-time zero/pole/gain model.
The measured component can serve as a plant model, while the noise component can be used as a disturbance model for control system design.
Zero-Pole-Gain Model with Input and Output Delay
Open Live Script
For this example, create a SISO zero-pole-gain model with an input delay of 0.5 seconds and an output delay of 2.5 seconds.
zeros = 5;poles = [7+1i 7-1i -3];gains = 1;sys = zpk(zeros,poles,gains,'InputDelay',0.5,'OutputDelay',2.5)
sys = (s-5) exp(-3*s) * ---------------------- (s+3) (s^2 - 14s + 50) Continuous-time zero/pole/gain model.
You can also use the get
command to display all the properties of a MATLAB object.
get(sys)
Z: {[5]} P: {[3x1 double]} K: [1] DisplayFormat: 'roots' Variable: 's' IODelay: [0] InputDelay: [0.5000] OutputDelay: [2.5000] InputName: {''} InputUnit: {''} InputGroup: [1x1 struct] OutputName: {''} OutputUnit: {''} OutputGroup: [1x1 struct] Notes: [0x1 string] UserData: [] Name: '' Ts: [0] TimeUnit: 'seconds' SamplingGrid: [1x1 struct]

Control Design Using Zero-Pole-Gain Models
Open Live Script
For this example, design a 2-DOF PID controller with a target bandwidth of 0.75 rad/s for a system represented by the following zero-pole-gain model:
Create a zero-pole-gain model object sys
using the zpk
command.
zeros = [];poles = [-0.25+0.2i;-0.25-0.2i];gain = 1;sys = zpk(zeros,poles,gain)
sys = 1 --------------------- (s^2 + 0.5s + 0.1025) Continuous-time zero/pole/gain model.
Using the target bandwidth, use pidtune to generate a 2-DOF controller.
wc = 0.75;C2 = pidtune(sys,'PID2',wc)
C2 = 1 u = Kp (b*r-y) + Ki --- (r-y) + Kd*s (c*r-y) s with Kp = 0.512, Ki = 0.0975, Kd = 0.574, b = 0.38, c = 0 Continuous-time 2-DOF PID controller in parallel form.
Using the type 'PID2'
causes pidtune
to generate a 2-DOF controller, represented as a pid2
object. The display confirms this result. The display also shows that pidtune
tunes all controller coefficients, including the setpoint weights b
and c
, to balance performance and robustness.
For interactive PID tuning in the Live Editor, see the Tune PID Controller Live Editor task. This task lets you interactively design a PID controller and automatically generates MATLAB code for your live script.
For interactive PID tuning in a standalone app, use PID Tuner. See PID Controller Design for Fast Reference Tracking for an example of designing a controller using the app.
Algorithms
zpk
