Optimal Sampled-Data Control Systems (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1995)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1995, 5 December 2011

Among the many techniques for designing linear multivariable analogue controllers, the two most popular optimal ones are H2 and H ¿ optimization. The fact that most new industrial controllers are digital provides strong motivation for adapting or extending these techniques to digital control systems. This book, now available as a corrected reprint, attempts to do so. Part I presents two indirect methods of sampled-data controller design: These approaches include approximations to a real problem, which involves an analogue plant, continuous-time performance specifications, and a sampled-data controller. Part II proposes a direct attack in the continuous-time domain, where sampled-data systems are time-varying. The findings are presented in forms that can readily be programmed in, e.g., MATLAB.
