Automatic Control Engineering

The book presents the topics of control engineering in a relative easy language, which is of great importance for the beginners. It is compulsory for every student to start with the basic concepts and gradually reach to the competitive level. This book includes competitive objective type questions at the end of each chapter. Moreover, the major complex topics of control engineering like Root Locus Technique, Bode Plot and Nyquist Criterion are explained in an easy manner using step-by-step method. In addition to this, some advanced topics of control engineering like sampled data control systems and robust control systems are also included in this book.
