EE 122: Introduction to Control Systems

Units: 4

Introduces basic concepts of single-input single-output closed-loop control systems in both time and frequency domains. Controller designs and concepts include root-locus method, frequency-domain synthesis, PID tuning, lead-lag compensators, internal model principle, and design tradeoffs. These methods are used to reach desired system behavior including stability, stability margins, sensitivity, and time/frequency-domain specifications. Practical issues like nonlinearities in control systems and describing function analysis; sampling data control systems and digital control designs will be introduced. State-space models, controllability and observability and other modern multi-input multi-output control systems concepts will be introduced briefly.
