4 points + 24 lectures and 18 laboratory hours + First semester + Clayton + Prerequisites: ECS3331, ECS3311 + Corequisites: ECS3312

Synopsis: Multivariable control. State space design: pole-placement, observers, stochastic disturbances, optimal and suboptimal control. Digital control systems: control design using the z-transform, effects of sampling rate and finite word length. Non-linear systems: classification of non-linear behaviour, stability for small perturbations, describing function analysis of limit cycles.

Assessment: Examination (2 hours): 75% + Laboratory work: 25%
