Examination

<br />Discrete-time systems: sampling and reconstruction, open loop and closed loop discrete time analysis, system time response characteristics, poles and zeros, stability analysis techniques. System identification: ARX/ARMAX models, least squares, model validation, recursive parameter estimation algorithms (e.g. RLS, ELS), implementation Digital control: control system specifications, design techniques (e.g. discretisation, direct design), ringing poles, self-tuning control algorithms (e.g. pole assignment, minimum variance, optimal) and operation. Computer packages will be used to gain experience in applying and simulating techniques.<br />
