Digital Control Systems

Catalog description

This course introduces the components of digital control systems and system models both on the z-domain (z-transfer functions) and on the time domain (state variable representations); and then covers analysis and design of digital control systems. The various discrete-time controllers including PID controllers are designed using both time and frequency domain techniques. The course further studies modern discrete-time control design including state and output feedback controllers, linear quadratic optimal control, and Kalman filters. Simulations to validate the designed systems are required. Permission of department required. Typically offered Spring. Course Learning Outcomes 1.
