Applied Feedback Control Systems UCSC - CMPE 242
Course discusses topics of linear feedback control systems for command-following, disturbance rejection, stability, and dynamic response specifications. Topics include: root-locus , frequency response design (Bode) techniques, Nyquist stability criterion, and the design of dynamic compensators, state-space techniques for modeling, full-state feedback regulator design, pole placement, and observer design. Digital control (z-transform) and optimal control (LQ) are introduced. Uses MATLAB and introduces Simulink for computer-aided controller design.
