About This Course
MAE 171B Digital Control of Physical Systems. (Instructor: Tsao, T-C.) Lecture, four hours; discussion, two hours; outside study, six hours. Enforced requisite: course
171A or Electrical Engineering 141. Analysis and design of digital control systems. Sampling theory. Z-transformation. Discrete-time system representation. Design using
classical methods: performance specifications, root locus, frequency response, loop-shaping compensation. Design using state-space methods: state feedback, state
estimator, state estimator feedback control. Simulation of sampled data systems and practical aspects: roundoff errors, sampling rate selection, computation delay.
