EEE 401 Control System I

3 credits, 3 hours/week

Introduction to control systems. Linear system
models: transfer function, block diagram and signal
flow graph (SFG).
State variables: SFG to state variables, transfer
function to state variable and state variable to
transfer function.
Feedback control system: Closed loop systems,
parameter sensitivity, transient characteristics of
control systems, effect of additional pole and zero on
the system response and system types and steady
state error. Routh stability criterion. Analysis of
feedback control system: Root locus method and
frequency response method. Design of feedback
control system: Controllability and observability, root
locus, frequency response and state variable
methods. Digital control systems: introduction,
sampled data systems, stability analysis in Z-
domain.
