Analysis of Feedback Systems with Non-Strictly-Proper Loop Gain

Prof. Dan Cobb
UW ECE Dept.

Abstract

Most conventional feedback theory for lumped linear systems is based on the assumption that the loop gain is strictly proper. However, certain aspects of known theory do impinge on the non-strictly-proper case. These include biproper and singular state-space theory and the Q-parametrization of stabilizing compensators. In the first part of our talk, we will examine these constructions and describe a fundamental flaw in their conclusions for the non-strictly-proper case. Next, we will propose a new analytical approach to problems with arbitrary proper loop gain. Finally, our results will be used to augment and correct the constructions listed above.

Time and Place: Wed., Mar. 29, 3:30-4:30 pm in 4610 Engr. Hall.
