Abstract: This paper discusses two recursive distributions of poles and zeros that permit
the synthesis of a transmittance whose phase variations are linear in respect to
logarithmic variations of the frequency, slope and magnitude being adjusted through
two parameters. One of the resulting transmittances is particularly attractive for the
synthesis of a CRONE controller if constraints on closed loop pole locations or on
sensitivity functions energies are imposed. The resulting transmittance also permits to
obtain a state space description of the open and closed loop systems, representation
required if a Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) system is controlled.
