Linear Control Systems (LCS)

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and application of classical and modern linear control systems. It is designed to build a strong foundation in modeling, analysis, and design of dynamic systems. Emphasis is placed on understanding system behavior in both the time and frequency domains, along with an introduction to state-space techniques for modern control design.

The course is delivered by a highly experienced and reputed professor, bringing in-depth academic knowledge and industry insights to ensure practical learning and conceptual clarity.

Course Objectives

1. To develop foundational skills in applying mathematical tools for the analysis and design of classical linear control systems.

2. To understand and construct state-space representations of dynamic control systems.

Course Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:

1. Comprehend the fundamental concepts of control systems, feedback mechanisms, and mathematical modeling of electrical and mechanical systems.

2. Analyze control systems using time-domain and frequency-domain methods.

3. Apply various analytical techniques to assess the stability of control systems.

4. Understand the significance and design principles of compensators.

5. Demonstrate knowledge of controllability and observability in modern state-space control systems.
