Course description
Control engineering plays an important role in real systems. There are two types of control, the first one is classic control based on transfer functions, and the second one is modern control based on state-space representation. This course is focused on classic control.
Purpose of class
Lecture of classic control based on transfer functions.
Goals and objectives
  1. Study system modeling and state response of systems.
  2. Study poles, stability and stability criteria of systems.
  3. Study system analysis and design based on frequency transfer functions.
Language
Japanese(English accepted)
