摘要
This paper derives two canonical state space forms (i.e.,聽the observer canonical form and the observability canonical form) from multiple-input multiple-output systems described by difference equations. The state space model is expressed by the first-order difference equation and is equivalent to the input-output representation. More specifically, by setting the different state variables, the difference equations or the input-output representations can be transformed into two observable canonical forms and the canonical state space model can be also transformed into the difference equations. Finally, two examples are given.
