Design of Continuous Deadbeat Tracking Systems

Recursive Deadbeat Controller Design

This paper presents a recursive algorithm for the deadbeat predictive control that brings the output response to rest after a few time steps. The main idea is to put together the system identification process and the deadbeat control design into a unified step. It starts with reformulating the conventional multi-step output-prediction equation to explicitly include the coefficient matrices to w...

Polynomial design of deadbeat control laws

Observer-based deadbeat controllers: A polynomial design

A new method of designing observer-based deadbeat controllers for linear multivariable systems is presented. The design procedure consists in solving a linear equation in polynomial matrices and yields the entire controller, including the observer plus state feedback, in a single step. The resulting algorithm is remarkably simple, efficient, and leads to an economical realization of the control...

H2 optimal ripple-free deadbeat controller design

This paper deals with the design ripple-free deadbeat controllers for sampled-data systems. Given a prescribed settling time, the design problem is tackled by computing a ripple-free deadbeat controller that optimizes an H2 performance criterion. This criterion accounts for the quality of the tracking response and for the control energy necessary to achieve the deadbeat behavior. Our main resul...
