Course Description

This course extends the classical control techniques from EE-371 to the area of sampled data and discrete-time control systems. These systems are analyzed using z-transform and state-space techniques. The sampling theorem, reconstruction, frequency response, system design and digital compensators are also covered. (Prerequisites EE371)
