Digital Control Applications Illustrated with MATLAB®

Digital Control Applications Illustrated with MATLAB® covers the modeling, analysis, and design of linear discrete control systems. Illustrating all topics using the micro-computer implementation of digital controllers aided by MATLAB®, Simulink®, and FEEDBACK<<®, this practical text: Describes the process of digital control, followed by a review of Z-transforms, feedback control concepts, and s-to-z plane conversions, mappings, signal sampling, and data reconstruction Presents mathematical representations of discrete systems affected by the use of advances in computing methodologies and the advent of computers Demonstrates state-space representations and the construction of transfer functions and their corresponding discrete equivalents Explores steady-state and transient response analysis using Root-Locus, as well as frequency response plots and digital controller design using Bode Plots Explains the design approach, related design processes, and how to evaluate performance criteria through simulations and the review of classical designs Studies advances in the design of compensators using the discrete equivalent and elucidates stability tests using transformations Employs test cases, real-life examples, and drill problems to provide students with hands-on experience suitable for entry-level jobs in the industry

Digital Control Applications Illustrated with MATLAB® is an ideal textbook for digital control courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level.
