The course aims to provide the basics of control theory. It is mainly splitted in two main parts: analysis and synthesis. In particular, the former focuses on the definition of the fundamental properties of dynamical systems along with the main methods to describe and model them. The latter presents the main methods to design basic control schemes addressing simple given requirements both in time and frequency domain.
Prerequisiti
Linear algebra, complex numbers, basics of circuit theory and physics
Metodi didattici
The classes include theoretical lessons and exercise.
Several exam style questions will be proposed during the lesson.
Verifica Apprendimento
Closed-book, closed-note 2 hours written exam. The exam will test either theoretical knowledge and skills in solving simple exercises.
