QUESTION 1 [12]
Convert the following s-domain compensator to the z-domain compensator using the Tustin method
and a sampling frequency of 1Hz.
1
𝐷(𝑠) =
(𝑠 − 2)(𝑠 + 4)
1) Multiply out your final transfer function and ensure that the highest power of z in the denominator
has a coefficient of 1.
Answer:
2(z−1)
Substitute 𝑠 = 𝑇(𝑧+1) where T=1/1=1✓✓
