Course Description
This course provides an introduction to the analysis, design, and applications of continuous-time, linear control systems. Topics include transfer function representations of open and closed loop systems, time domain specifications and steady state error, time and frequency response, and stability criteria. It includes a treatment of methods for the analysis of control systems based on the Root Locus and the Nyquist criterion, and their use in the design of PID and lead-lag compensation. Laboratory exercises and the use of computer-aided design tools are included in this course.
