scipy.signal.StateSpace

class scipy.signal.StateSpace(*system)

Linear Time Invariant system class in state-space form.

Represents the system as the first order differential equation \(\dot{x} = A x + B u\).

Parameters:

*system : arguments

The StateSpace class can be instantiated with 1 or 4 arguments. The following gives the number of input arguments and their interpretation:

• 1: lti system: (StateSpace, TransferFunction or ZerosPolesGain)
• 4: array_like: (A, B, C, D)

TransferFunction, ZerosPolesGain, lti, ss2zpk, ss2tf, zpk2sos

Notes

Changing the value of properties that are not part of the StateSpace system representation (such as zeros or poles) is very inefficient and may lead to numerical inaccuracies.

Attributes

A	State matrix of the StateSpace system.
B	Input matrix of the StateSpace system.
C	Output matrix of the StateSpace system.
D	Feedthrough matrix of the StateSpace system.
den	Denominator of the TransferFunction system.
gain	Gain of the ZerosPolesGain system.
num	Numerator of the TransferFunction system.
poles	Poles of the ZerosPolesGain system.
zeros	Zeros of the ZerosPolesGain system.
