Control System Design

Description

Using a “how to do it” approach with a strong emphasis on real-world design, this text provides comprehensive, single-source coverage of the full spectrum of control system design. Each of the text’s 8 parts covers an area in control—ranging from signals and systems (Bode Diagrams, Root Locus, etc.), to SISO control (including PID and Fundamental Design Trade-Offs) and MIMO systems (including Constraints, MPC, Decoupling, etc.).
