Outline of the Textbook

Chapter 1 presents the essential ideas offeedbackand the generic components of a control

system.

Chapter 2 mainly reviews the techniques necessary

to obtain the models of dynamic systemsthat

we wish to control.

Chapter 3 covers dynamic response as used incontrol.

Outline of the Textbook (contd)

Chapter 4 introduces the basic properties offeedback. An analysis of the effects of feedback

on tracking accuracy, disturbance rejection, andsensitivity to parameter changes is presented.

Following the overview of feedback, the coreof

the bookpresents the design methods basedon root locus, frequency response&state spacein chapters 5, 6 & 7 respectively.
