ECE 5404

Multivariable Control

[Spring 2004]
Dr. Pushkin Kachroo
CRN: 11699; Credits: 3

An introduction to state space control design. The solutions to the linear-quadratic regulator problem, Kalman filtering problem, and the linear-quadratic-Gaussian problem will be examined. The robustness of the resulting control system will be analyzed and the loop-transfer recovery technique introduced. II
