About The Book
Feedback Control System Design by Allen R. Tannenbaum offers a comprehensive introduction to the principles of feedback control systems, focusing on a theoretical approach that applies to a wide variety of practical problems. The book explores recent advancements in the field, highlighting the relationship between new techniques and classical control theory, with an emphasis on single-input, single-output systems. This makes the book accessible to students with a limited background in the subject. Designed for senior undergraduate or graduate-level courses in electrical engineering, the text begins with a basic treatment of feedback design, covering topics like control design formulation, the performance/stability robustness tradeoff, and the graphical design technique known as loopshaping. The following chapters extend the loopshaping technique, linking it to concepts of optimality. The final chapters introduce controller design through optimization, offering a mathematical framework that proves invaluable for multivariable systems. This well-structured and clearly written text is an ideal resource for students looking to gain both a theoretical and practical understanding of feedback control system design.
