ECE4540/5540: Digital Control Systems
Taught: Aut. 2004, Aut. 2002, Spr. 2001, Spr. 1999.

 Summary

To date, I have taught ECE4540/5540 twice. The lecture notes for this course are my own. This course combines the historic ECE4540 (Digital Control Systems) and ECE4550/5550 (Computer Control System Theory and Design) which were nearly identical in content.
A comprehensive review of continuous-time control theory (section 1).
Design of digital controllers by “emulating” continuous-time controllers (sections 2 and 6).
Introduction to the z-transform for direct design and analysis of digital controllers (section 3).
Introduction to digital signal processing―sampling and reconstruction of signals (A2D and D2A). (section 4).
Analysis of hybrid continuous-time and discrete-time systems, especially those containing feedback (sections 5 and 7).
Design of controllers using either transfer-function or state-space methods. (sections 8 and 9).
I typeset the lecture notes.
