Abstract

Until recently, control design techniques for multivariable systems, such as pole placement or optimal control design, have been either too complex to be usable, or yielded designs which were liable to instability if the parameters of the plant varied from those used in the design. A technique which uses the singular values of the system transfer function matrix is now available. This technique yields control designs which are guaranteed to be robust with respect to plant parameter variations. This technique, combined with a novel technique for shaping the frequency responses of the singular values is used to design a control system for a gas turbine jet engine. It is shown that adjusting the crossover frequency of the open loop singular values affects the closed loop time and frequency response in the same manner that adjusting the open loop gain affects the response of a single-input/single-output control system.
