Control Systems I

Description
Analysis and synthesis for linear time-invariant control systems with one input and one output signal (SISO). State-space models, time response, stability conditions. Transfer functions and frequency response. Stability analysis under feedback: Root Locus, Bode plots, Nyquist condition. Feedback control synthesis: time- and frequency-domain specifications, PID lead/lag compensation, loop shaping.

Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of (complex) analysis and linear algebra.
Familiarity with Matlab is recommended.

Language
The lecture and the recitations will be held in English.

Lecture Notes, Problem Sets and Q&A Forum
We will be using Moodle to share all lecture related materials (lecture notes, problem sets, additional references) and to host a Q&A forum that we invite students to use to post any lecture related questions.

Textbook
There is no required textbook. Our recommendation is

Feedback Systems: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers
Karl J. Astrom and Richard M. Murray
