Calendar Description

Concepts of modeling, and analysis of systems in time and frequency domains, feedback and feed forward controllers, stability criteria, design of controllers.   Prerequisite:  EE 2783, MATH 3503 and APSC 1023 or ME 1113

Course Content

1. Modeling of physical systems: block diagram representation, and reduction
2. Mathematical model of systems: differential equation, state-space, transfer function
3. Analysis in the time and frequency domain: system specifications
4. Stability: definition, Routh Hurwitz criterion
5. Open and closed loop system: stability, sensitivity, tracking and disturbance rejection
6. Feedforward and feedback control structures
7. Typical feedback controllers such as proportional (P), proportional and integral (PI), proportional, integral and derivative (PID), variants of PID, lead and lag compensators, state-feedback controller and state-feedback with integral action.
8. Close loop frequency response and its relationship to open loop frequency response: Nyquist criterion.
