Master the principles and practices of modern control systems using a state-space approach. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, this electrical Engineering textbook offers comprehensive coverage of control systems and their design. Written by a recognised expert in the field, The book uses a state-space approach to examine topics of pole placement and observer design, Liapunov stability, optimal control, Kalman filtering, and linear Quadratic Gaussian control (lqg). modern control systems: state space approach features detailed, hands-on design projects as well as snippets of MATLAB code with simulations. The essential Mathematics are presented along with fully worked-out examples in gradually increasing degrees of difficulty. Readers will receive “just-in-time” math background from a comprehensive Appendix, as well as algorithmic step-by-step descriptions of analysis and design procedures. Highlights: \n1. Cuts down on the theory behind control systems and focuses on practice \n2. Includes a set of videos demonstrating the solutions for the more challenging questions \n3. Written by an electrical Engineering scholar and experienced author.
