ME-324: Discrete-time control of dynamical systems

On introduit les bases de l'automatique linéaire discrète qui consiste à appliquer une commande sur des intervalles uniformément espacés. La cadence de l'échantillonnage qui est associée joue un rôle primordial pour assurer la stabilité et la performance d ...

Description

This lecture covers the discrete synthesis theory, focusing on analog synthesis, open-loop sculpture, and reaching specifications. It explains the process of substituting functions, correcting distortions, and achieving specific requirements through loop sculpture. The lecture also delves into examples of correction by phase delay, setting trainee constants, and adjusting pole placements for closed-loop shaping. Additionally, it discusses the importance of phase margins, graphical representations, and logarithmic scales in designing and shaping signals.

Logarithmic scale

A logarithmic scale (or log scale) is a way of displaying numerical data over a very wide range of values in a compact way. As opposed to a linear number line in which every unit of distance corresponds to adding by the same amount, on a logarithmic scale, every unit of length corresponds to multiplying the previous value by the same amount. Hence, such a scale is nonlinear: the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on, are not equally spaced. Rather, the numbers 10, 100, 1000, 10000, and 100000 would be equally spaced.

Analog signal

An analog signal is any continuous-time signal representing some other quantity, i.e., analogous to another quantity. For example, in an analog audio signal, the instantaneous signal voltage varies continuously with the pressure of the sound waves. In contrast, a digital signal represents the original time-varying quantity as a sampled sequence of quantized values. Digital sampling imposes some bandwidth and dynamic range constraints on the representation and adds quantization error.

Signal

In signal processing, a signal is a function that conveys information about a phenomenon. Any quantity that can vary over space or time can be used as a signal to share messages between observers. The IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing includes audio, video, speech, , sonar, and radar as examples of signals. A signal may also be defined as observable change in a quantity over space or time (a time series), even if it does not carry information.

Level (logarithmic quantity)

In science and engineering, a power level and a field level (also called a root-power level) are logarithmic magnitudes of certain quantities referenced to a standard reference value of the same type. A power level is a logarithmic quantity used to measure power, power density or sometimes energy, with commonly used unit decibel (dB). A field level (or root-power level) is a logarithmic quantity used to measure quantities of which the square is typically proportional to power (for instance, the square of voltage is proportional to power by the inverse of the conductor's resistance), etc.

Analog computer

An analog computer or analogue computer is a type of computer that uses the continuous variation aspect of physical phenomena such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic quantities (analog signals) to model the problem being solved. In contrast, digital computers represent varying quantities symbolically and by discrete values of both time and amplitude (digital signals). Analog computers can have a very wide range of complexity.
