The \(\mu\)-synthesis problem is to find a controller \({\mathbf K}(s)\), which stabilizes \({\mathbf M}(s)\), and two stable rational function matrices \({\mathbf F}(s)\) and \({\mathbf G}(s)\) such that \[ \begin{multlined} M_{F,G,K}(s)= (1/2)({\mathbf F}(s)+{\mathbf F}^T(-s))-\\ [{\mathbf F}(s)+{\mathbf F}^T(- s)+ s({\mathbf G}(s)+{\mathbf G}^T(- s))]{\mathbf F}_L({\mathbf M},{\mathbf K})({\mathbf I}+{\mathbf F}_L({\mathbf M},{\mathbf K}))^{-1}\end{multlined} \] is strictly positive real, where \({\mathbf F}_L({\mathbf M}, {\mathbf K})\) is the lower linear fractional transformation of \({\mathbf M}(s)\) and \({\mathbf K}(s)\). By using some equivalent transformations this paper develops the state-space realization for this problem. A sufficient condition for the problem is given in the time domain and an illustration is provided by computer simulation.
