padecoef

Computes the Pade approximation of time delays.

Syntax

[numerator, denominator] = padecoef(T, N)
[numerator, denominator] = padecoef(T)

Input argument

T

Time delay: a scalar real positive.

N

Order of approximation: a scalar real positive (default N = 1).

Output argument

numerator

polynomials of order N: rows vector.

denominator

polynomials of order N: rows vector.

Description

padecoef(T, N) computes the Nth-order Padé Approximation for the continuous-time delay system represented by the exponential term exp(-T*s) and returns it in the form of a transfer function.
