Design of a Controller for a Flexible Pointing System Using H(infinity) Synthesis

Abstract

This report presents the results of a digital controller design implementation using the H-infinity synthesis method on the ATB 1000 test fixture at the Army Research Development Engineering Center (ARDEC), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ. The objective was to design a robust tracking controller to make the beam tip track a reference command applied to the base in the face of nominal disturbances. In this report, the salient features of the design approach will be reviewed and the implementation issues that arose will be discussed at length.
