Discrete-Time Control System Design with Applications

Bridging digital control theory and vehicle guidance and control practice, this book presents techniques of digital redesign and direct discrete-time design suitable for a real-time implementation of controllers and guidance laws at multiple rates.

This unique book provides a bridge between digital control theory and vehicle guidance and control practice. It presents practical techniques of digital redesign and direct discrete-time design suitable for a real-time implementation of controllers and guidance laws at multiple rates and with and computational techniques. The theory of digital control is given as theorems, lemmas, and propositions. The design of the digital guidance and control systems is illustrated by means of step-by-step procedures, algorithms, and case studies. The systems proposed are applied to realistic models of unmanned systems and missiles, and digital implementation.

Klappentext

This book presents practical techniques of discrete-time control system design. In general, the design techniques lead to low-order dynamic compensators that ensure satisfactory closed-loop performance for a wide range of sampling rates. The theory is given in the form of theorems, lemmas, and propositions. The design of the control systems is presented as step-by-step procedures and algorithms. The proposed feedback control schemes are applied to well-known dynamic system models.

This book also discusses:

Closed-loop performance of generic models of mobile robot and airborne pursuer dynamic systems under discrete-time feedback control with limited computing capabilities

Concepts of discrete-time models and sampled-data models of continuous-time systems, for both single- and dual-rate operation

Local versus global digital redesign

Optimal, closed-loop digital redesign methods

Plant input mapping design

Generalized holds and samplers for usein feedback control loops,

Numerical simulation of fixed-point arithmetic implementation

Flatness-based discrete-time control

The effect of the sampling or control update rate on closed-loop performance

Delta and shift operators
