Embedded Digital Control Systems

Catalog description

This course introduces the theoretical foundations and practical implementations of digital control systems. Difference equations and the Z-transform, and the time response and frequency response of discrete-time systems, are covered. Modeling of digital control systems and the components that comprise them, including analog-to-digital converters, digital to analog converters, zero-order hold, and computation/time delays are explored. Stability analysis of closed-loop systems, digital controller design based on root-locus and frequency response approaches will be introduced. Hardware applications of the analysis and design principles will be tested on embedded systems.
