Control Systems II

Course Outline

This course is a continuation of control systems (I).  It particularly provides the students with basic knowledge in state-space design, digital control and nonlinear systems.  As for the state-space design, it begins with reviewing linear-algebra fundamentals and introducing state-space description of  linear systems.  Students will then learn how to design full-state feedback and estimator of the  control system. In digital control, z-transform will be introduced first and controller design using  digital equivalents will then be covered.  Finally, we will introduce some basic analysis and design tools for nonlinear control systems.
