Control System Design

Catalog description

This course provides an introduction to the analysis and design of advanced control systems. The frequency domain analysis, root locus analysis, design process, PID controller and compensator design will be emphasized. Fundamental limitations of feedback will be discussed and advanced PID design techniques will be presented. Model-based techniques such as pole placement will be discussed for the SISO case. Throughout the course we will emphasize the concepts of robust control, including tradeoffs between sensitivity and performance.
