Modern Control Systems Design. 3 credits

Catalog description

Introduces state-space modeling, analysis, and control of feedback systems using time-domain methods rather than frequency-domain methods, and the connections between the two. In particular the course will emphasize the connections between physical real-world systems and mathematical control problems. Specific topics include modeling and realization theory, stability analysis and control of linear systems, controllability and observability, introductions to digital control, linear optimal control, and nonlinear control. Students will demonstrate their obtained knowledge through the design of a complete control system including choices of sensors/actuators in addition to the controller. The course will include extensive use of Matlab and Simulink. Offered by Electrical & Comp. Engineering . Limited to two attempts.
