A transfer function of control system does not have pole-zero cancellation. Which one of the following statements is correct ?

  • A.System is neither controllable nor observable
  • B.System is completely controllable and observable
  • C.System is observable but uncontrollable
  • D.System is controllable but unobservable

Answer: B

The system is completely controllable and observable.

A transfer function describes only the part of a system that is both controllable and observable. If a state were uncontrollable or unobservable, the corresponding mode would cancel out of the transfer function as a common pole and zero. So when there is no pole-zero cancellation, the order of the transfer function equals the number of states, and the system is completely controllable and completely observable.

The other options each describe a system with a hidden mode, which would show up as a pole-zero cancellation in its transfer function.
