Honors Automatic Control Systems

Catalog description

Control theory and design methods focused on application. Feedback. Performance limits. Routh-Hurwitz, root locus, Nyquist. Nonminimum-phase systems. State feedback. Proportional-Integral-Derivative control. Lead/lag. High-order compensation. Discrete controllers. Honors students will at the end of the semester design a high-performance control system for a sophisticated plant with realistic feedback limitations.
