Learning outcomes of the course unit

After passing the course, the student is able to:
- demonstrate and explain the difference between state space and input output description of the system
- explain the concept of causality, realizability, reachability, controlability, observability and reconstructability of the system
- identify and approximate basic types of dynamic systems and discretize the system
- apply the principles of block algebra and Mason’s gain rule for the evaluation of the system’s transfer function
- design the state observer and state feedback

Prerequisites

The subject knowledge on the Bachelor´s degree level is requested.

Co-requisites
