scipy.signal.cont2discrete¶

scipy.signal.cont2discrete(system, dt, method='zoh', alpha=None)[source]

Transform a continuous to a discrete state-space system.

Parameters: system : a tuple describing the system or an instance of lti The following gives the number of elements in the tuple and the interpretation: 1: (instance of lti) 2: (num, den) 3: (zeros, poles, gain) 4: (A, B, C, D) dt : float The discretization time step. method : {“gbt”, “bilinear”, “euler”, “backward_diff”, “zoh”}, optional Which method to use: gbt: generalized bilinear transformation bilinear: Tustin’s approximation (“gbt” with alpha=0.5) euler: Euler (or forward differencing) method (“gbt” with alpha=0) backward_diff: Backwards differencing (“gbt” with alpha=1.0) zoh: zero-order hold (default) alpha : float within [0, 1], optional The generalized bilinear transformation weighting parameter, which should only be specified with method=”gbt”, and is ignored otherwise sysd : tuple containing the discrete system Based on the input type, the output will be of the form (num, den, dt) for transfer function input (zeros, poles, gain, dt) for zeros-poles-gain input (A, B, C, D, dt) for state-space system input

Notes

By default, the routine uses a Zero-Order Hold (zoh) method to perform the transformation. Alternatively, a generalized bilinear transformation may be used, which includes the common Tustin’s bilinear approximation, an Euler’s method technique, or a backwards differencing technique.

The Zero-Order Hold (zoh) method is based on [R242], the generalized bilinear approximation is based on [R243] and [R244].
