ELEC324: Feedback Control and Dynamic Systems

Overview of mathematical models of linear systems (differential equations, transfer function, state space and canonical forms). Analysis and performance of single-input single-output feedback systems - zero-input response, zero-state response, transfer function, transient response (rise time, overshoot, settling time), proportional-integra-derivative (PID) compensation, lead-lag compensation. Modern control-system analysis and design methods - controllability, observability, cost functions, optimal control, optimal observer and state estimation, multiple-input multiple-output systems. Introduction to analysis and design of digital control systems - discrete approximations of continous systems, transform techniques, state-space methods. Applications of control in electronic systems (eg feedback amplifiers, phase-locked loops) and servo-control systems (eg for antenna pointing and satellite tracking). Use of MATLAB for control-system analysis and design.
