4 points + 24 lectures, 18 laboratory hours + First semester + Clayton +
Prerequisites: ECS3331, ECS3311 + Corequisites: ECS3312
Objectives The student is expected to gain an appreciation of the
behaviour of the dynamic systems listed below and acquire a knowledge of
methods for controlling their performance: multivariable systems, stochastic
systems, non-linear systems and discrete time digital systems.
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%
