CDS 112 - Introduction to Theory of Feedback Systems

Description:

Feedback control design, stability, and performance analysis in frequency and time domain. Loop shaping for performance and robustness. Covers Feedback Control Theory, by Doyle, Francis, and Tannenbaum with elementary MIMO generalizations.

• Handouts:
  • Course syllabus (1 page, postscript)
  • Matlab primer (28 pages, compressed postscript)
  • Ducted fan example from 25 October 1994:
    • Matlab source code for controller design
    • Mathematica source code for performance and robustness analysis

• Homework sets (Fall 1994, postscript):
  • Homework 0: review + intro to matlab using ducted fan example
  • Homework 1: norms of signals and systems

    Note: The copy of homework #1 handed out in class had a few typos. This one is the corrected version.

  • Homework 2: stability, tracking, and performance.
  • Homework 3: uncertainty and robustness.
  • Homework 4: robust stability and performance.
  • Homework 5: coprime factorizations.
  • Homework 6: limits on performance.
  • Homework 7: performance limits and loopshaping.
  • Homework 8: weighted sensitivity, ducted fan controller design.
