Overview
This unit introduces control systems and feedback and outlines their role in modern society. Initially tools for the modelling, analysis and design of continuous-time systems are briefly presented. Following this, the main focus is shifted to the analysis and design of modern discrete-time and hybrid sampled-data systems. For analysis, difference equations, z-transforms, transfer functions, frequency response, and state-space models are covered, as also is computer-based system identification. For design, pole-placement, and state feedback, state estimation, and linear quadratic optimal design are covered. Aspects of robust and non-linear control are also introduced.
Offerings in 2021
The 2021 handbook lists no offerings for ECE3031.
Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1An understanding of control theory. An appreciation of the diversity of control applications. An understanding of feedback and feed forward systems. An awareness of simplifying assumptions and their limitations. An understanding of digital controllers. The ability to model real systems in a variety of ways. The ability and confidence to effectively use feedback to improve the dynamic properties of a plant.
Workload and teaching
Minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 4-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-8 hours independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
