ELEC321 Control Systems
Description
This is an introductory course on continuous linear control systems covering analysis, design, and practical applications. Modeling first- and second-order dynamic physical systems, transient response and steady-state analyses, Routh-Hurwitz stability criteria, roles of feedback in controlling steady-state errors, frequency response design methods (Bode, Nyquist), etc. are covered. The course emphasizes the application of established methodology with the aid of examples, calculators, and computer programs such as MATLAB.
