AER203   Control Engineering   (15 credits)

Description

This unit covers feedback control design and corresponding system modelling and analysis. The principles of closed-loop control, transfer functions and stability are applied to simplified typical aerospace systems. Manipulation and use of performance specifications for a continuous-time control system are covered. Analytical and presentation tools for system modelling and study are introduced, including the root-locus method. Common compensator structures are covered and applied to aerospace systems. Radar and communication fundamentals relevant to aircraft and aerospace systems are introduced.
