This book presents new necessary and sufficient conditions for static
output-feedback control of linear time-invariant systems using the
H-Infinity approach. This work presents a simplified parameterization of
all H-Infinity static state-feedback controllers in terms of a single
algebraic Riccati equation and a free parameter matrix. This work also
proposes three numerically efficient solution algorithms for the coupled
design equations to determine the static output-feedback gain. These
algorithms also give flexibility to relatively weight control input and
system performance. Application to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles exemplifies
the power of the theory developed. This work gives a procedure for
designing compensators of specified structure for shaping the closed
loop response that uses H-infinity output-feedback design techniques.
The method developed takes advantage of the wealth of experience in
aerospace control design. F-16 design examples drawn from the popular
literature, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Control, Electromechanical Systems,
and Wireless Control Design problems are included to show the power of
the approach.
