A MULTIRATE CONTROLLER-DESIGN OF LINEAR PERIODIC TIME-DELAY SYSTEMS

Abstract

This paper presents a multirate controller design for a linear periodic system with multiple delays at input and output. The approach first converts the periodic time-delay system into a periodic delay-free system, and then stabilizes and optimizes it by a multirate controller with pulse compensation. A significant advantage of this approach is that by using multirate sampling, the controller can provide more substantial design freedoms, so that although the system does not provide complete state information, it remains possible to convert the controller design into the dual of a regular complete state feedback problem. This enables one to derive a simple algorithm for choosing the optimal parameters of the controller and, by use of the optimal pulse compensation, to improve the transient response.
