2. Use of the models depends on the application. For example, to find the transient or
steady state response of SISO (Single Input Single Output) LTI (Linear Time Invariant)
system transfer function model is useful. On the other hand, for optimal control
application state space model is useful.

TRANSFER FUNCTION
3.Take the ratio of the output Y(s) to the input R(s). This ratio is the
transfer function.
Block Diagram Models
• A block diagram of a system is a pictorial representation of the functions
performed by each component and of the flow of signals.
• Such diagram depicts the interrelationships that exist among the various
components. Differing from a purely abstract mathematical
representation, a block diagram has the advantage of indicating more
realistically the signal flows of the actual system.
