Ex 2.1

The system is des ribed by

(1)
(2)

( ) = Ax(t) + B u(t);

x t

( ) = C x(t) + w(t):

y t

The system is ontrolled by the ontroller

x t

(4)

Cx t

Under stati ondition (nothing is hanging) x (t) = 0 and x (t) = 0. We are

interested in the stati gain from r(t) to y(t). Hen e set the other input w(t) = 0.
Using these observations and subtra ting (1) from (4) we get

(6)

( ) = x(t):

x t

Note that the above equality may not hold if A K C is a singular matrix, whi h
would mean that the estimation error may not be zero at steady state (stati
ondition). Using (1),(3) and (6) we get

whi h means that the slope of the semilog urve for large t gives the dominating
pole.

2 Di ulties in ontrol

A brief outline of the Matlab ode for forming the losed loop system for system 1 is given in Table 1. You an modify the same set of odes to study the
other systems also. Next ompensators are required to be designed. Follow the
instru tions given in the instru tion sheet. Create the LTI obje t for the ompensated system. Study the ompensated losed loop system properties using
bode and Nyquist plots. You may need to as ade two systems. Use
h = series(g1, 1); or h = g1* 1;

for that. Next we study state spa e feedba k ontrol of the systems. To reate
the state spa e des ription of open loop system use
s1 = ss(g1), [A, B, C, D = ssdata(s1);

Next hoose your pole! Let p_s be the ve tor of ontroller poles and p_o be the
ve tor of observer poles. Observer poles has to be faster than the system poles.
The set of odes given in Table 2 may be helpful.
