# ss

Convert digital filter to state-space representation

## Syntax

• [A,B,C,D] = ss(d)
example

## Description

example

[A,B,C,D] = ss(d) converts a digital filter, d, to its state-space representation.The state-space representation of a filter is given by$\begin{array}{c}x\left(k+1\right)=Ax\left(k\right)+Bu\left(k\right),\\ y\left(k\right)=Cx\left(k\right)+Du\left(k\right),\end{array}$where x is the state vector, u is the input vector, and y is the output vector.

## Examples

Design a lowpass IIR filter of order 6. Specify a normalized passband frequency of rad/sample. Compute the state-space representation of the filter.

d = designfilt('lowpassiir','FilterOrder',6,'PassbandFrequency',0.2); [A,B,C,D] = ss(d)

## Input Arguments

Digital filter, specified as a digitalFilter object. Use designfilt to generate a digital filter based on frequency-response specifications.

Example: d = designfilt('lowpassiir','FilterOrder',3,'HalfPowerFrequency',0.5) specifies a third-order Butterworth filter with normalized 3-dB frequency 0.5π rad/sample.
