Grading policy: 2 midterm projects (tokef)—20% each (provided the grade of the final exam is at least 55)
Final exam—60% (or 100%, if its grade is lower than 55)
Passing policy: Minimum passing grade is 55, only those who pass both projects are elibible to take the final exam

Syllabus

Topics on single-loop analysis: advanced loop shaping; pole placement; control of dead-time systems; choices of reference signals; modeling uncertainty and robustness.

State-space methods: state space; structural properties of systems in state space; state feedback; state observers; observer-based output feedback; linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) problem; linear-quadratic estimation (Kalman filtering); LQG.

Introduction to sampled-data control: connecting analog and digital; the sampling theorem, aliasing, and anti-aliasing filters; digital redesign of analog controllers; control of discrete-time systems.
