Publisher's Synopsis
This text seeks to provide students with a clear picture of how real-world systems operate, covering the fundamentals of linear continuous data and digital control systems analysis and design.;The sixth edition has been redesigned to enhance student comprehension and expands its coverage of conventional time-domain and frequency-domain analysis and design methods. Kuo offers a new method to the Nyquist stability criterion that requires only one simple plot for a wide class of transfer functions and broadens his treatment of reduced-order approximation of high-order systems; PID controller design, lead-lag and pole-zero cancellation control; stability analysis; and bridged-T controller design.;Classical state variable methods are discussed and disturbance rejection and design with sensitivity considerations are dealt with. An examination of robust control design at the entry level is also included.;Both the accompanying software disks and software manual have been revised and expanded. Both are integrated within the text and include the following utility programs - partial-fraction expansion; matrix multiplications; polynomial root solving; state variable analysis; time response of continuous data systems; root locus program; frequency response analysis; computer-aided frequency domain design; sampled data control systems analysis and design; time response of digital control systems; and computer drill problems on selected subjects.
