Product Description
Design of Feedback Control Systems is designed for electrical and mechanical engineering students in advanced undergraduate control systems courses. Now in its fourth edition, this tutorial-style textbook has been completely updated to include the use of modern analytical software, especially
MATLABRG. It thoroughly discusses classical control theory and state variable control theory, as well as advanced and digital control topics. Each topic is preceded by analytical considerations that provide a well-organized parallel treatment of analysis and design. Design is presented in separate
chapters devoted to root locus, frequency domain, and state space viewpoints. Treating the use of computers as a means rather than as an end, this student-friendly book contains new "Computer-Aided Learning" sections that demonstrate how MATLABRG can be used to verify all figures and tables in the
text. Clear and accessible, Design of Feedback Control Systems, Fourth Edition, makes complicated methodology comprehensible to a wide spectrum of students.

Features
Keyed to today's dominant design tool, MATLABRG
Includes drill problems for gauging knowledge and skills after each topic
Provides state-of-the-art design examples
Uses marginal summaries to guide the reader
Introduces new ideas in the context of previous material, with a guide to the information that follows
Presents practical examples of the latest advances in control sciences

Reviews


Great Technical Book
This book may not be suited for beginners. It's a great addition to your arsenals if you are an advanced student majoring in Control systems or working in an industry with feedback control design emphasis. The added software is great for hands-on practical problem solving technique.

An OK book on design of Feedback Control Systems
The topics are presented in a clear way, using many examples and illustrations.

I own several books on Control Systems (including this one), but if you have to buy just one and you are in the middle of the process of choosing it, I would recommend Katsuhiko Ogata's Modern Control Engineering.

This is a good textbook, but considering its price, it's not a great buy.
