A Proportional-Plus-Integral Controller for a Particle Beam Weapon.
Abstract
The goal of this thesis is to design a proportional-plus-integral (PI) controller, for use with the Meer filter, to control a particle beam weapon. The device used to measure the beam produces a low signal rate, the Meer filter is used to produce an estimate of the beam position. Atype-1, proportional-plus-integral controller is designed using LQG assumptions and dynamic programming to solve the cost function. A sensitivity analysis is performed to determine the system sensitivity to different parameters. A performance analysis is also performed to demonstrate the syster robustness to unmodelled errors. The resulte of these analyses are compared to a type-O, proportional gain controller. In addition the PI controllers ability to regulate to a non-zero setpoint is demonstrated. Keywords include: Point process; Space-time point process; Multiple model adaptive estimator; Adaptive estimation; Optimal filtering.
