Analysis

The performed laboratory activity deals with generating a system, its

transformation, its retrieval and interconnection with other systems. Different command
were used in order to accomplish this lab activity such as the transfer function, zero-
pole-gain, the frequency response data and the state-space which are all used to
generate a system. From the performed activity, we can see that by just initializing the
values of the polynomials in the numerator and the denominator, we can easily generate
a system from the given transfer function. We can also create a system using the
initialized values of the zero, pole and gain. It is also easy to create a system based on
the given matrices using the ss(A,B,C,D) function that we used in the activity. In the
frdata command, we must convert the data such as the frequency if it is in Hertz since
Matlab settings are fixed on radians/s for the frequency. Retrieving data was also
possible if we have the system first before the initialized values based on the output we
got in the second part of the activity. The overall transfer function was also obtained
which needs careful analyzation especially of the position and the direction of the
systems and made possible using the series, parallel, and the feedback commands.
Creating a Matlab M-File made it possible for us to use only one function that has
multiple functions in it. I noticed that using this script is very helpful when we are trying
to do many commands all at once.
Conclusion

From the performed activity, Matlab has shown how easy it is to be able to
generate systems. It is valuable since it can be used in the representation of different
forms of systems such as the transfer function and zero-pole gain, and others. Using
Matlab the students were able to execute the activity in the most accurate manner since
it consumes a very small amount of time in terms of transforming systems and solving
for the interconnection of these systems when laid out in a block diagram The retrieval
of the values of the systems was also made easy through the use of retrieval
commands such as the tfdata, zpkdata, ssdata and the frdata commands. Solving for
the interconnection system also became easy for the students because of the
commands series, parallel and feedback which pertains to the relationship of the system
in the block diagram. Characterizing those different kinds of system was made possible
because of Matlab.
