ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF CONTROL SYSTEMS BY MEANS OF TIME DOMAIN MATRICES

Abstract

The time domain matrix method is presented and illustrated as a method of analysis and design of linear, nonlinear, and time varying systems of the continuous or sampled data class. Sampled data, time varying systems may not be conveniently investigated by any other existing method. Furthermore the investigation of nonlinear systems is greatly simplified by the time domain approach. Multiloop systems may be treated with ease and the signals at intermediate points throughout the loops are readily available. Also, systems with multiple nonlinearities may be investigated, for which there is not a presently available method of analysis and design.
