Springer Discrete-Time Control System Design with Applications

Bridging digital control theory and vehicle guidance and control practice, this book presents techniques of digital redesign and direct discrete-time design suitable for a real-time implementation of controllers and guidance laws at multiple rates. Review “The book will be of great interest to researchers, academics and industry engineers since it combines theory and practise and outlines control techniques along with the many issues that arise when implementing them. It also includes several explanatory figures and many numerical simulations … .” (Lazaros Moysis, zbMATH 1402.93013, 2019) From the Back Cover This book presents practical techniques of discrete-time control system design. In general, the design techniques lead to low-order dynamic compensators that ensure satisfactory closed-loop performance for a wide range of sampling rates. The theory is given in the form of theorems, lemmas, and propositions. The design of the control systems is presented as step-by-step procedures and algorithms. The proposed feedback control schemes are applied to well-known dynamic system models. This book also discusses: Closed-loop performance of generic models of mobile robot and airborne pursuer dynamic systems under discrete-time feedback control with limited computing capabilities Concepts of discrete-time models and sampled-data models of continuous-time systems, for both single- and dual-rate operation Local versus global digital redesign Optimal, closed-loop digital redesign methods Plant input mapping design Generalized holds and samplers for use in feedback control loops, Numerical simulation of fixed-point arithmetic implementation Flatness-based discrete-time control The effect of the sampling or control update rate on closed-loop performance Delta and shift operators
