The Open-Loop Transfer Matrix of an Estimator-Controller

Open-loop transfer matrices of continuous and sampled-data estimator-controllers (including those in predictor-corrector form) are derived. This paper complements an earlier paper in which open-and closed-loop transfer matrices of estimators and closed-loop transfer matrices of estimator-controllers were derived. Three different open-loop transfer matrices of each type of estimator-controller are derived by breaking the loop at different points. An example is included to illustrate the utility of such an open-loop transfer matrix.
