Tunable Models

Models with tunable or parametric coefficients

Tunable Generalized LTI models represent systems having both fixed and tunable (or parametric) coefficients. Use Control Design Blocks to represent tunable components of your control system. Combine them with Numeric LTI models to create tunable Generalized LTI models. For an example, see Control System with Tunable Components.

You can use tunable Generalized LTI models to:

Model a tunable (or parametric) component of a control system, such as a tunable low-pass filter.
Model a control system that contains both:
- Fixed components, such as plant dynamics and sensor dynamics
- Tunable components, such as filters and compensators
Tuning control systems to design goals you specify, using tuning commands such as systune or the Control System Tuner app.
