Control Systems

Control systems are an essential part of contemporary society. It play a vital role in our day-to-day life and find applications in different sectors like Energy sector, manufacturing process, industries, satellites, missiles, navigation, robotics, and biomedical engineering etc. The study of control is not only concerned with engineering applications but it extends in other areas such as business, economics, political systems etc. So it is necessary to cope up with the practical knowledge on control systems to serve the society. The better Comprehensive Lab Manual fulfils the needs of the education community.

This book is intended to serve as a Comprehensive Lab Manual based on the course of control systems for undergraduate students of engineering. This manual provides basic approach for the development of practical concepts and insight into the subject matter and also written in a student - friendly manner. The book dealt in simplified sequential manner of fundamental with practical developement in MATLAB in the area of control systems. Theoretical explanations supported by graded solved examples which have been framed to help the young engineering students in grasping the practical knowledge and its applicability with the coverage of various topics.

The book needs the requirement of undergraduate students of engineering in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Communication and Biomedical Engineering and also useful for post graduate students in the area of Control system Engineering.

Significant Features
