Description including Unit Aims

This unit extends your knowledge in Systems and Control Engineering in the following ways: by introducing the general Roots' Loci method of control system design, by formally introducing discrete-time system dynamics and control, by providing a clear understanding of the Nyquist Stability Criterion for SISO systems, and then by using this understanding in the design of practical single-input/single-output (SISO) control systems, via frequency domain techniques. The course includes a Matlab/Simulink exercise which enables you to design and simulate control systems via frequency domain techniques.
