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.
