Easily editable files to simulate three MIMO predictive control algorithms.
These files are intended as a support to this book to enable students to investigate predictive control algorithms from the formulation of the
prediction equations right through to the Closed-loop simulation.
Servomotors are available as AC or DC motors. Early servomotors were generally DC motors because the only type of control for large currents was through SCRs for many years. As transistors became capable of controlling larger currents and switching the large currents at higher frequencies, the AC servomotor became used more often. Early servomotors were specifically designed for servo amplifiers. Today a class of motors is designed for applica-tions that may use a servo amplifier or a variable-frequency controller, which means that a motor may be used in a servo system in one application, and used in a variable-frequency drive in another application. Some companies also call any Closed-loop system that does not use a stepper motor a servo system, so it is possible for a simple AC induction motor that is connected to a velocity controller to be called a servomotor.
Two scripts are included here.
1. convsys.m - combines the state space representation of two systems connected in series.
[Ao,Bo,Co,Do]=convsys(A1,B1,C1,D1,A2,B2,C2,D2)
This algorithm gives the convolution of two state space representations
| A1 B1 | | A2 B2 |
u ==> | | ==> | | ==> y
| C1 D1 | | C2 D2 |
The algorithm also accepts state space objects as inputs and gives out a state space object as output.
2. sysfeedbk.m
[Ao,Bo,Co,Do]=convsys(A1,B1,C1,D1,A2,B2,C2,D2)
Gives the closed loop state space representation for two systems connected with negative feedback in the following manner.
| A1 B1 |
u ==> | | ==> y
+ o | C1 D1 | |
- | |
| | A2 B2 | |
|= | |= |
| C2 D2 |
The zip file also contains checkcompatibility.m , which checks the compatibility of matrix dimensions in the system and cleanss.m which can be used to clean a state space representation.
During the past decade, many wireless communication techniques have been
developedto achievevariousgoals suchas higherdata rate,morerobustlink quality,
and higher number of users in a given bandwidth. For wireless communication
systems, depending on the availability of a feedback link, two approaches can be
considered: namely open and closed loop. Open loop communication system that
does not exploit the channel knowledge at the transmitter is now well understood
from both a theoretical and practical point of view.

Removing output capacitors saves money and boardspace. Linear Technology’s OPTI-LOOPTM architectureallows you to use the output capacitors of your choice andcompensate the control loop for optimum transientresponse and loop stability. Figure 1 shows the dramaticimprovement possible with the OPTI-LOOP architecture.With the improvement shown in Figure 1, less capacitance
