Modern Control Theory

Graduate

A continuation of ENGS 026, with emphasis on digital control, state-space analysis and design, and optimal control of dynamic systems. Topics include review of classical control theory; discrete-time system theory; discrete modeling of continuous-time systems; transform methods for digital control design; the state-space approach to control system design; optimal control; effects of quantization and sampling rate on performance of digital control systems. Laboratory exercises reinforce the major concepts; the ability to program a computer in a high-level language is assumed.
