An algorithm of transforming continuous-time state feedback gains into equivalent discrete-time feedback gains or vice versa is proposed using bilinear transformation. The proposed method is evaluated experimentally by an application control of a mobile crane system which is implemented by 16bits micro computer with A/D and D/A converters. It has been shown from the experimental result that the transformed feedback gains are virtually identical to the optimal discrete gain over range of significant sampling time. Since the transformed matrix is composed by a distinct relationship between continuous-time gain and discrete-time gain, it is noted that the proposed method can be regarded as an explicit gain transformation method compared to the other methods using series expansion.
