ECSE-6460

Multivariable Control Systems

An advanced course in the synthesis and analysis of linear multivariable control systems. Topics include output feedback, reduced-order modeling and control, disturbance accommodation and counteraction, pole-zero relocation via feedback, decoupling, vector frequency domain methods, decentralized control, numerical methods for controller synthesis. Emphasis on contemporary approaches to feedback controller design and connections between time and frequency domain methods. Material based on technical journals as well as textbooks. Computer design problems are assigned. Prerequisite: ECSE-6400; ECSE-6430 and ECSE- 6440 desirable. Fall term.
