This unit introduces feedback problems and their solutions. These are low sensitivity design, dynamic characteristics and closed-loop stability, Routh-Hurwitz stability tests, on closed-loop transfer functions, Root locus, frequency response and their interpretations in terms of relative stability and dynamic performance will be treated. Proportional (P), Proportional and Integral (PI), Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) controllers, lead, lag and lag-lead compensators will be introduced. Time domain and frequency domain design of lead, lag and lag-lead compensators will be emphasized. The unit also covers state-space models and state-space and transfer function models conversion.
