16.31 Feedback Control State-Space Systems What are state-space models? Why should we use them? and how do we develop a state-space mode( &ased in classical control design How are they related to the transfer functions What are the basic properties of a state-space model, and how do we analyze these?
Fall 2001 16.313-1 Introduction Root locus methods have Advantages k Good indicator if transient response k Explicity shows location of all closed-loop poles Trade-offs in the design are fairly clear Disadvantages k Requires a transfer function model(poles and zeros) k Difficult to infer all performance metrics k Hard to determine response to steady-state(sinusoids
