Cascade decomposition and realization of multivariable systems via block-pole and block-zero placement

A technique is presented for state-feedback and state-feedforward block decomposition of a class of multivariable systems into a block-cascaded form structure having the assigned block poles and block zeros. A state-space technique is also presented for minimal realization of a multivariable compensator, represented by a voltage transfer function matrix, using the decoupled RC cascaded networks and summers.
