Creating and Manipulating Models    

Continuous/Discrete Conversions of LTI Models

The function c2d discretizes continuous-time TF, SS, or ZPK models. Conversely, d2c converts discrete-time TF, SS, or ZPK models to continuous time. Several discretization/interpolation methods are supported, including zero-order hold (ZOH), first-order hold (FOH), Tustin approximation with or without frequency prewarping, and matched poles and zeros.

The syntax

performs ZOH conversions by default. To use alternative conversion schemes, specify the desired method as an extra string input:

The conversion methods and their limitations are discussed next.
