Linear Control Systems

Linear Control Systems



COURSE DESCRIPTION:  (Prerequisite, EEL 3123C, including diff equations, Laplace transform techniques, circuit transfer functions, network theory).  Control system theory, including dynamic system representation in terms of differential equations and transfer functions, Mason's rule for transfer function determination, linearization, the response of first and second order systems (bandwidth, rise time, settling time), control system characteristics (speed of response, disturbance rejection, steady state accuracy, and sensitivity to parameter variations), root locus analysis, Routh-Hurwitz and Nyquist stability criteria, relative stability (gain margin and phase margin) from Nyquist and Bode diagrams, and design of lead and lag compensators for control systems.  See page three for the order of coverage of course material.
