Introduction
• A Block Diagram is a shorthand pictorial representation of
the cause-and-effect relationship of a system.
• The interior of the rectangle representing the block usually
contains a description of or the name of the element, or the
symbol for the mathematical operation to be performed on
the input to yield the output.
• The arrows represent the direction of information or signal
flow.

y
Introduction
• The operations of addition and subtraction have a special
representation.
• The block becomes a small circle, called a summing point, with
the appropriate plus or minus sign associated with the arrows
entering the circle.
• The output is the algebraic sum of the inputs.
• Any number of inputs may enter a summing point.
• Some books put a cross in the circle.
Introduction
• In order to have the same signal or variable be an input
to more than one block or summing point, a takeoff
point is used.
• This permits the signal to proceed unaltered along
several different paths to several destinations.
Example-1
• Consider the following equations in which x1, x2,. . . , xn, are
variables, and a1, a2,. . . , an , are general coefficients or
mathematical operators.
x n  a1 x1  a 2 x 2  a n 1 x n 1

• The denominator of closed loop transfer function determines the
characteristic equation of the system.

Introduction
• Alternative method to block diagram representation,
developed by Samuel Jefferson Mason.
• Advantage: the availability of a flow graph gain formula,
also called Mason’s gain formula.
• A signal-flow graph consists of a network in which nodes
are connected by directed branches.
• It depicts the flow of signals from one point of a system
to another and gives the relationships among the signals.
37
Fundamentals of Signal Flow Graphs
• Consider a simple equation below and draw its signal flow graph:
y  ax
• The signal flow graph of the equation is shown below;
x
a
y
• Every variable in a signal flow graph is designed by a Node.
• Every transmission function in a signal flow graph is designed by a
Branch.
• Branches are always unidirectional.
• The arrow in the branch denotes the direction of the signal flow.
Signal-Flow Graph Models
Example-7: R1 and R2 are inputs and Y1 and Y2 are outputs
Y1 ( s )
G11 ( s )  R 1 ( s )  G12 ( s )  R 2 ( s )
Y2 ( s )
G21 ( s )  R 1 ( s )  G22 ( s )  R 2 ( s )
Signal-Flow Graph Models
Exercise-4: r1 and r2 are inputs and x1 and x2 are outputs
a 11  x1  a 12  x2  r1
x1
a 21  x1  a 22  x2  r2

Construct the signal flow graph for the following set of
simultaneous equations.
• There are four variables in the equations (i.e., x1,x2,x3,and x4) therefore four nodes are
required to construct the signal flow graph.
• Arrange these four nodes from left to right and connect them with the associated
branches.
• Another way to arrange this
graph is shown in the figure.
Terminologies
• An input node or source contain only the outgoing branches. i.e., X1
• An output node or sink contain only the incoming branches. i.e., X4
• A path is a continuous, unidirectional succession of branches along which no
node is passed more than ones. i.e.,
X1 to X2 to X3 to X4
X1 to X2 to X4
X2 to X3 to X4
• A forward path is a path from the input node to the output node. i.e.,
X1 to X2 to X3 to X4 , and X1 to X2 to X4 , are forward paths.
• A feedback path or feedback loop is a path which originates and terminates on
the same node. i.e.; X2 to X3 and back to X2 is a feedback path.
Terminologies
• A self-loop is a feedback loop consisting of a single branch. i.e.; A33 is a self
loop.
• The gain of a branch is the transmission function of that branch.
• The path gain is the product of branch gains encountered in traversing a path.
i.e. the gain of forwards path X1 to X2 to X3 to X4 is A21A32A43
• The loop gain is the product of the branch gains of the loop. i.e., the loop gain
of the feedback loop from X2 to X3 and back to X2 is A32A23.
• Two loops, paths, or loop and a path are said to be non-touching if they have
no nodes in common.

Mason’s Rule (Mason, 1953)
• The block diagram reduction technique requires successive
application of fundamental relationships in order to arrive at the
system transfer function.
• On the other hand, Mason’s rule for reducing a signal-flow graph
to a single transfer function requires the application of one
formula.
• The formula was derived by S. J. Mason when he related the
signal-flow graph to the simultaneous equations that can be
written from the graph.
Mason’s Rule:
• The transfer function, C(s)/R(s), of a system represented by a signal-flow graph
is;
n
C(s)
R( s )
 Pi  i

i 1

Where
n = number of forward paths.
Pi = the i th forward-path gain.
∆ = Determinant of the system
∆i = Determinant of the ith forward path
• ∆ is called the signal flow graph determinant or characteristic function. Since
∆=0 is the system characteristic equation.
Mason’s Rule:
n
C(s)
R( s )
 Pi  i

i 1

∆ = 1- (sum of all individual loop gains) + (sum of the products of the gains
of all possible two loops that do not touch each other) – (sum of the
products of the gains of all possible three loops that do not touch each
other) + … and so forth with sums of higher number of non-touching loop
gains
∆i = value of Δ for the part of the block diagram that does not touch the ith forward path (Δi = 1 if there are no non-touching loops to the i-th path.)
Systematic approach
1. Calculate forward path gain Pi for each forward
path i.
2. Calculate all loop transfer functions
3. Consider non-touching loops 2 at a time
4. Consider non-touching loops 3 at a time
5. etc
6. Calculate Δ from steps 2,3,4 and 5
7. Calculate Δi as portion of Δ not touching forward
path i
