New modelling technique for aperiodic-sampling linear systems

Abstract

A general input-output modelling technique for aperiodic-sampling linear systems has been developed. The procedure describes the dynamics of the system and includes the sequence of sampling periods among the variables to be handled. Some restrictive conditions on the sampling sequence are imposed in order to guarantee the validity of the model. The particularization to the periodic case represents an alternative to the classic methods of discretization of continuous systems without using the Z-transform. This kind of representation can be used largely for identification and control purposes.Comment: 19 pages, 0 figure
