Solution
The combined transfer function of the ZOH and the plant is
F(s)=
G(s)( 1 −e−s)
s

so that if we find the inverse Laplace transform ofGˆ(s)=G(s)/s, call itgˆ(t), then
f(t)=gˆ(t)−ˆg(t− 1 )

Samplingf(t)=gˆ(t)−gˆ(t− 1 )with a sampling periodTs=1 gives
f(n)=gˆ(n)−gˆ(n− 1 )
wheregˆ(n)=[0.5−e−n+0.5e−^2 n]u(n). The Z-transform off(n)is then the transfer function

12.3.2 Closed-Loop Sampled-Data System
Consider the feedback system shown in Figure 12.8 where for simplicity we assumeH(s)=1 (i.e., no
feedback sensor). An equivalent block diagram is obtained by moving back the sampler at the input.
Consider finding the transfer function of the sampled input commandcs(t)and the sampled output
of the systemys(t). The above open-loop development can be used to find the transfer function of the
feedback system.
The sampled error signal is
es(t)=cs(t)−ys(t)
