THE IMPEDANCE MATRIX IN SERIES

The series decompositon analysis of impedance matrix models for linear systems of arbitrary degree and dimension using recursive computation is considered. Formulation of the series-admittance description of multi-input, multi-output system models is discussed together with typical applications. A particularly simple, computationally effective procedure is outlined thereafter when, as in most engineering problems, the impedance form results in a matrix quadratic structure. Finally, the contrallabilityobservability aspects of series models for single input–multiple output systems is commented upon.
