Learning Outcomes

To learn use of Matlab to design, analyze and implement CT and DT (Continuous-Time and Discrete-Time) deterministic H2/LQ (Linear Quadratic) and LQG (LQ Gaussian) controllers for LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) CT and DT state space systems and PID controllers for CT and DT LTI plants with delays. This includes e.g. the ability to compute suitable performance indices both in time domain and frequency domain, model integration and simulation skills, stability analysis techniques using Simulink, Control System Toolbox and Symbolic Toolbox, developing reliable algorithms for on-line use and programming of simple Matlab tools.
