Feedback Control Systems: The Matlab(r)/Simulink(r) Approach

Feedback control systems is an important course in aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and mechatronics engineering, to name just a few.

Feedback control systems improve the system's behavior so the desired response can be achieved.

The first course on control engineering deals with Continuous Time (CT) Linear Time Invariant (LTI) systems. Plenty of good textbooks on the subject are available on the market, so there is no need to add one more. This book does not focus on the control engineering theories as it is assumed that the reader is familiar with them, i.e., took/takes a course on control engineering, and now wants to learn the applications of MATLAB^® in control engineering. The focus of this book is control engineering applications of MATLAB^® for a first course on control engineering.

Farzin Asadi is with the Department of Mechatronics Engineering at the Kocaeli University, Kocaeli, Turkey. Farzin has published 30 international papers and 10 books. He is on the editorial board of 6 scientific journals as well. His research interests include switching converters, control theory, robust control of power electronics converters, and robotics.

Robert E. Bolanos received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at San Antonio, and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Idaho. Currently, he is a Principal Engineer at Southwest Research Institute, Space Science and Engineering Division 15. Mr. Bolanos designs space-rated switch power supplies, RF oscillators, and high voltage pulsers. He has worked on both NASA and ESA space projects such as IBEX, JUICE, BepiColombo, and EUROPA (MASPEX).

Jorge Rodríguez received a B.S. in Electronics Engineering and a Master's in Electronics Engineering, both at Carlos III University of Madrid (Spain). Currently, he is working as a R&D hardware engineer at Power Smart Control focusing on SoC devices, developing HIL systems, and as a support engineer for PSIM and SmartCtrl software.
