On the Modeling of a Large-Scale Electro-Optic System.
Abstract
Through this examination of a three-aperture bench laser experiment, a large-scale system realization model has been obtained. This realization model represents a valuable investigative tool for further control analysis and phased array experimental research. The experimental system was decomposed into five weakly coupled control loops that contained six components each. Transfer-function matrices for individual components were obtained through analysis of electrical schematics, experimental Bode plots, and through existing empirical data. The component models were cascaded together to form forward-loop transfer-function matrices for the five control loops. Closed-loop transfer-function matrices in observable canonical form were subsequently obtained. The modal matrices corresponding to three of the control loops were so poorly conditioned that a decoupled composite dynamical equation-based realization of high order was necessitated.
