EECP 3375 Digital Control Systems
Hours
Prerequisites: NONE
Goal To provide the student with the basic concepts of digital control
systems as applied to sampled data control systems and the
application of MATLAB to solve Control Engineering problems.
Objectives
This course should enable the student
to:
1. Study of different types of control
systems and their stability.
2. Study and analyze the basic idea
of control systems and Digital Control
Systems, using time domain and
frequency domains.
3. Study Z-transform and state space
representation.
4. Introduction of MATLAB software
package to solve Digital Control
Systems problems by simulation and
re-design.
3 Credit
