C4 Design

The document discusses feedback control and summarizes key themes. It describes how feedback control provides benefits like disturbance rejection and robustness if the closed-loop system remains stable with high gain. However, high gain can also cause instability or exceed plant capacity. The document also summarizes how to design for frequency response goals like stability, disturbance attenuation, and command response while considering limitations like plant capacity and measurement noise. It discusses using loop shaping to make the sensitivity and complementary sensitivity functions have desired properties to meet goals.

Summary of Feedback

Benefits Closed-loop Stability Required


 disturbance rejection
 robustness Good tracking and disturbance
 linearity improvement attenuation are retained as long
 bandwidth improvement as
 closed-loop system remains
stable
 the gain remains high

Under these conditions high-gain


feedback implies robustness with
respect to loop uncertainty

Pitfalls of High Gain Feedback

Potential problems
 naively making the gain large
can easily result in an
unstable feedback system
 even if feedback system is
stable, overly large plant
inputs may arise that exceed
the plant capacity
 measurement noise causes
loss of performance

 |S| is small if the magnitude of the bandwidth B
the loop gain L is large
 L needs to be made large for
frequencies where disturbance
attenuation is needed
 However, this is limited by
plant capacity

Bandwidth and Crossover Region (S)

 Typical shape of magnitude of the sensitivity function:


 low at frequencies up to the bandwidth
 near 1 at frequencies above the bandwidth
 The frequency range around B is the crossover region
 “peaking” of S should be avoided
 otherwise disturbances are amplified

Command Response (T,F)

 Recall that T = 1 - S
 T determines the command response - it is close to 1 up to B
 When F = 1, closed-loop transfer function TF is low pass with the
same bandwidth as the band for disturbance attenuation
 If a different command response is required, F can compensate for
this

Plant Capacity (Su)

Note that T  Su P  To prevent overly large inputs Su (T)


should not be too large
Thus, requirements on Su can be
 At low frequencies the loop gain
translated into requirements on T should be high for low sensitivity,
and the magnitude of T is close to 1
 This can lead to plant capacity
being exceeded
 At high frequencies Su should
decrease as fast as possible,
otherwise measurement noise
affects the input - this is consistent
with the robustness requirement
that T decrease fast

Plant Capacity (Su) - r.h.p. zeros

1  Unstable open loop plant


When L  CP  1 then Su 
P zeros limit the closed-loop
If the plant P has zeros in the right bandwidth
half plane, 1 P is unstable  Su may only be made equal to
1/P up to the frequency which
equals the magnitude of the
r.h.p. zero with the smallest
magnitude

Stability Robustness

 Robustness
 For loop gain perturbations T needs to be
small
 For inverse loop gain perturbations S
needs to be small
 Performance
 At high frequencies T needs to be small
 At low frequencies S needs to be small
 Perturbations
 High frequency uncertainty (parasitics)
causes significant loop gain perturbations
 low frequency uncertainty (load changes
etc.) causes significant inverse loop gain
perturbations
 Crossover
 Neither S nor T can be small, they must
therefore be prevented from peaking.
Good stability margins help to ensure this

Performance Robustness

Su and TF Denote nominal quantities by S o etc.

requirements result in Low frequencie s :
specifications on S in the require S  1, T  1  L( j )  1
low frequency region and on
T in the high frequency
region High frequencie s :
require T  1, S  1  L( j )  1
 This results in bounds on the
loop gain L

so does the plot of 1/L. Hence 1
the more closely the plot of L L

 Thus to avoid peaking we
need good stability margins
 But gain and phase are not
independent
