Control Systems I

Description
Analysis and synthesis for linear time-invariant control systems with one input and one output signal (SISO). State-space models, time response, stability conditions. Transfer functions and frequency response. Stability analysis under feedback: Root Locus, Bode plots, Nyquist condition. Feedback control synthesis: time- and frequency-domain specifications, PID lead/lag compensation, loop shaping.

Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of (complex) analysis and linear algebra.
Familiarity with Matlab/Python is recommended.

Language
The lecture and the recitations will be held in English.

Lecture Notes, Problem Sets and Q&A Forum
We will be using Moodle to share all lecture related materials (lecture notes, problem sets, additional references) and to host a Q&A forum that we invite students to use to post any lecture related questions.

Textbook
There is no required textbook. Our recommendation is

Feedback Systems: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers
Karl J. Astrom and Richard M. Murray
