ECE 682 - Multivariable Control Systems
Instructor
Professor David Wang
Schedule
Lectures will be Tuesdays from 2:30pm - 5:20pm in room EIT 3151, starting the week of September 12.
Calendar Description
An introduction to control theory for linear time-invariant finite-dimensional systems from both the state-space and input-output viewpoints. State- space theory: the concepts of controllability, observability, stabilizability, and detectability; the pole-assignment theorem; observers and dynamic compensation; LQR regulators. Input-output theory: the ring of polynomials and the field of rational functions; the algebra of polynomial and rational matrices; coprime factorization of transfer matrices; Youla parametrization. Introduction to optimal control.
Prerequisites
ECE 380 and any fourth year controls course (or their equivalent).

Assignments
The best way to learn is to teach!
You will be given 7 assignments where the solutions are partially given. With your group, produce a complete solution set with details. Then, for each assignment, each group will be responsible for creating 2 questions that would be suitable for an exam question. Provide a detailed solution. Must be solvable in 20 minutes by your peers. Up to 40% of the final exam could be from the submitted problems.
Mark Distribution
- Final 50% (Up to 40% of exam mark from the questions created from assignments, up to 10% of the exam drawn from project presentations below)
