Preface

A control system is composed of a set of components to produce a desired response

for a given input and widely used in several areas of science and engineering. A basic
continuous-time control systems course is usually offered to undergraduate students
in electrical, mechanical, mechatronic, chemical, civil, and aerospace departments.
As control system theory is important in several disciplines, modeling of the various
type of systems is required. Further, the derivation of the electrical analog of other
types of systems is also required, as analysis and design can be carried out using the
vast and well-developed electrical circuit and linear systems theory. Although the
analysis and design is carried in the analog domain, due to the advances in digital
system technology and fast numerical algorithms, systems can be implemented
using digital components by transforming system models to the digital domain.
As the mathematical content of control systems is quite high, students have to be
made comfortable in their learning of this subject through a number of appropriate
examples, figures, and programs. Further, it has to be pointed out how the theoretical
analysis is approximated numerically to include practical considerations in applica-
tions. In conjunction with theoretical analysis and a laboratory class, programming
is essential for getting a good understanding of the subject. The course should end
with one or two good projects of complexity that the students can handle. Further,
each student should practice the basic concepts, such as matrix analysis and Laplace
transform, with paper and pencil and programming as much as necessary for their
good understanding. The essentials of control systems are linear system theory,
transform methods and their computational aspects, and control systems analysis,
design, and implementation.
This book is primarily intended to be a textbook for an introductory course in
continuous-time control systems for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate
students in several engineering departments. It can also be used for self-study
and as a reference. The prerequisites for studying this subject are first courses in
linear algebra, calculus, mechanics, circuit theory, signals and systems, and basic
programming.
The features of this book are the detailed coverage of basic principles of control
systems with MATLAB® programs (available online); clear, concise, and simplified

v
vi Preface

presentation of the difficult concepts using transform theory; physical explanation

of concepts; large numbers of figures and examples; and clear, concise, and, yet,
comprehensive presentation of the topics. Emphasis on physical simulation of
systems is a unique feature of the book, making it easier to understand system
behavior.
Answers to selected exercises marked ∗ are given at the end of the book.
A solutions manual and slides are available for instructors at the website of
the book. I assume the responsibility for all the errors in this book and would
very much appreciate receiving readers’ suggestions and pointing out any errors

Introduction

There are certain activities, which we require in our daily lives. For example, we
have to heat the water to take bath. Before the advent of control systems, we did
it manually by using firewood. That requires time and effort, whereas, nowadays,
we set the desired temperature in an electric water heater and turn it on. The task
is done automatically without further human effort. The use of control systems is
widespread in our homes as well as in industries. Control systems carry out the task
automatically in the most efficient manner. In this chapter, we just introduce control
systems first. One of the important tasks in control system design is to test that its
performance is as required. For that purpose, some standard signals are used, while
the actual signals in control systems have arbitrary amplitude profile.

1.1 Basics of Control Systems

A system carries out some task in response to an input signal. Control system is
an interconnection of components, such as the controller, actuator, and plant, to
produce a desired response. For example, an electric motor delivers mechanical
rotational power when we energize it with electrical power. Apart from large
number of industrial applications, control systems are often used for our comfort
in our homes, such as room temperature control, water heater control, and voltage
stabilizers for voltage control. An open-loop control system is a system with a
controller and actuator to provide a desired response without any feedback, as
shown in Fig. 1.1. Open-loop control system is like driving a car in a zigzag road
with our eyes closed (without feedback from our eyes). A closed-loop control
system is a system with a controller and actuator to provide a desired response with
some feedback, as shown in Fig. 1.2. The controller produces the control signal. Its
function is to hold the desired response at a desired value regardless of the changing
environment around it. Closed-loop control system is like driving a car in a zigzag
road with our eyes open (with feedback from our eyes).

Room Temperature Control

A control system is used to maintain a desired temperature in the room, regardless of
the changing temperature environment around it. In the open-loop control system,
we set a desired temperature in the controller. It applies continuous heating with no
regard to the actual output temperature. This type of system may not be satisfactory,
at both day and night time, as the outside temperature varies considerably. In the
closed-loop control system, the controller monitors the temperature in the room and
if it goes high or low from the desired value, it sends a signal to activate the heater
in such a way to reduce the error signal. The feedback input value to a temperature
controller is an electric signal proportional to the temperature.
As control systems are used in several different applications, a transducer
that transfers signals generated in one domain to another domain is often used.
Transducers are used to sense signals such as flow, level, pressure, temperature,
velocity, acceleration, etc. In particular, transducers those produce electrical output
are most often used as electrical signals, which are very convenient for analysis,
design, and simulation of systems. A tachometer is a transducer that provides a
proportional voltage to the magnitude of the angular velocity of a shaft. Another
commonly used transducer is the potentiometer. It is a resistor with three terminals,
the third being an adjustable one. It is an electromechanical transducer that senses
a mechanical displacement and provides a corresponding electrical signal. A
thermistor is a transducer that is an electrical resistor, the resistance of which varies
rapidly in a known manner with temperature. A thermocouple is also a temperature
transducer that produces an electric current that is proportional to the temperature.
Tank Liquid (for Example, Water) Level Control
A common application of the control system is water tank level control. The control
system prevents overflow of water, when the tank is full. When the water level goes
down, the float also goes down and the attached valve opens the water inlet to the
tank. When the water level reaches the set value, the float goes up and the attached
valve closes the water inlet to the tank.
1.1 Basics of Control Systems 3

Human Body Control

The human body is an ideal model of a control system, as well as in other
applications of science and engineering. In practical applications, we try to emulate
the way biological systems carry out various tasks. For example, our eyes adjust the
gain to suit light levels and normalize responses to contrast. In image processing
applications, we design algorithms to emulate visual systems. Some of the targets
for control are:
• Maintenance of blood pressure and body temperature within the sustainable
range
• Maintenance of water, salt, and electrolytes
• Discharge of waste materials from the body
• Closing of the eyelids, when an object approaches the cornea of the eye
Automatic Gain Control
Automatic gain control is a closed-loop control system in an amplifier to maintain
a suitable signal amplitude at the output, despite wide variations in the signal
amplitude at the input. A typical application is radio receivers. The gain control is
necessary to adjust for the different amplitudes of the signals received from different
radio stations. Further, gain control is required to receive the signal even from a
single station due to fading because of atmospheric disturbances and other reasons.
The gain control system reduces the volume for strong signals and raises it when
the signal is weak.
Frequency Control in Electrical Power System
The frequency and voltage of the electrical power supply that is distributed
to industries and homes have some specifications to comply with. That is, the
frequency and voltage variations must be within some prescribed limits. A drop
in speed of the generator due to increased load causes the control system to increase
the input (admit more steam into the turbine in the case of steam power plants)
resulting in an increase in the speed of the generator. This frequency control brings
out the basics of closed-loop control systems.
1. Sensing of the actual response.
2. The sensor output is interpreted in terms of a deviation from a control point.
3. Necessary corrections are applied to restore the response to its desired form.

1.2 Basic Signals

Signals are a source of information, such as an audio or a temperature signal. As

signals vary with time or some other independent variable, they are also referred
as functions. For example, x(t) = sin(t), where x(t) is its amplitude and t is
the independent variable. The amplitude profiles of practical signals and those
of the responses of practical systems are arbitrary. Therefore, signals have to be
decomposed in terms of some well-defined basic signals, such as the impulse
and sinusoid, for compact representation and easier processing. Systems can be
characterized by their responses to the basic signals, impulse, unit-step, ramp,
parabola type, and sinusoids. Then, using these responses, the system response
for arbitrary signals can be easily determined by decomposing the input signal in
terms of basic signals and summing the responses to all the components, assuming
linearity property of linear systems. The basic signals are used as intermediaries in
the analysis of signals and systems. They are not practical signals. For example, the
duration of the sinusoid is infinite. The bandwidth of impulse is infinite. However,
they can be approximated, in practice, to a required accuracy. The response of
systems to them can be measured, in practice, with acceptable tolerance. While the
responses of test signals of a system are related, the unit-step signal is the easiest to
generate and is usually used for performance tests.

1.2.1 The Unit-Step Signal

On the interval it is defined, a function is continuous if a pen can trace its graph
completely without being lifted from the page. While a sinusoid is a continuous
function, the unit-step signal is discontinuous. The step signal is indispensable in
the analysis of systems, for example, in modeling a switch. For this purpose, a
generalized function, called the impulse, is defined to make the unit-step signal its
integral. In control systems, the specifications of a system are usually given in terms
of its unit-step response. The unit-step function u(t), shown in Fig. 1.3a, is defined
as

1 for t ≥ 0
u(t) =
0 for t < 0

The unit-step signal has a value of one for positive values of its argument t and its
value is zero otherwise. The delayed version of the unit-step signal is defined as

1 for t ≥ a
u(t − a) =
0 for t < a

1.2.2 The Unit-Impulse Signal

Although step and impulse functions are of fundamental importance in signal and
system analysis, there is no analytic way to define these functions, as they are not
analytic. A simple, rigorous, and usable interpretation for the derivative of a function
at a point of discontinuity is given by defining a generalized function—the impulse.
A regular function is usually defined by its value. The impulse function is called a
generalized function, since it is defined by the result of its operation (integration) on
an ordinary function. The continuous unit-impulse signal δ(t), located at t = 0, is
defined, in terms of an integral, as
 ∞
x(t)δ(t) dt = x(0)
−∞

assuming that x(t) is continuous at t = 0 (so that the value x(0) is unique). The
value of the function x(t) at t = 0 has been sifted out or sampled by the defining
operation. The signal is shown in Fig. 1.3b.
6 1 Introduction

1.2.3 The Unit-Ramp Signal

The unit-ramp signal, shown in Fig. 1.3c, is defined as


t for t ≥ 0
r(t) =
0 for t < 0

The unit-ramp signal linearly increases, with unit slope, for positive values of its
argument and its value is zero for negative values of its argument. The unit-ramp
signal is the integral of the unit-step signal.

1.2.4 The Unit-Parabolic Signal

The graph of any quadratic function is called a parabola. The unit-parabolic signal,
shown in Fig. 1.3d, is defined as

t2
for t ≥ 0
p(t) = 2
0 for t < 0

The denominator 2 makes its Laplace transform 1/s 3 . The unit-parabolic signal
quadratically increases for positive values of its argument and its value is zero for
negative values of its argument. The unit-parabolic signal is the integral of the unit-
ramp signal.

1.3 Sinusoids

A general sinusoidal waveform is a linear combination of trigonometric sine and

cosine waveforms or shifted sine and cosine functions. Sinusoidal representation of
signals is indispensable in the analysis of signals and systems for the following most
cogent reasons. The steady-state waveform, due to an input sinusoid, in any part of a
linear system, however, complex it may be, is also a sinusoid of the same frequency
as that of the input differing only in its amplitude and phase. No other periodic
waveform has this distinction. Linear systems can be modeled by a linear differential
equation with constant coefficients and the particular integral of the equation is a
sinusoid when the input is sinusoidal. The sum of any number of sinusoids having
the same frequency but arbitrary amplitudes and phases is also a sinusoid of the
same frequency. No other periodic function can lay claim to this property either. The
integral and derivative of a sinusoid is again a sinusoid of the same frequency. Due
to these properties, system models, such as differential equation and convolution,
reduce to algebraic equations for a sinusoidal input for linear systems. Further, due
1.3 Sinusoids 7

to the orthogonal property, any practical signal, with arbitrary amplitude profile,
can be decomposed into a set of sinusoids using fast algorithms. Physical systems
also, such as a combination of an inductor and a capacitor, produce an output of
sinusoidal nature. The motion of a simple pendulum is approximately sinusoidal.

1.3.1 The Polar Form of Sinusoids

There are two forms of representation of real sinusoids. At a given angular frequency
ω, a sinusoid is characterized by its amplitude A and its phase θ (called the polar
form) or by the amplitudes of its sine and cosine components (called the rectangular
form). Signal amplitude can be either positive or negative.
The polar form of a sinusoid is

x(t) = A cos(ωt + θ ), −∞ < t < ∞

A sinusoidal waveform has a positive peak and a negative peak in each cycle.
The distance of either peak of the waveform from the horizontal axis is its amplitude
A. The cosine function is periodic,

cos(ωt) = cos(ωt + 2π )

Any function defined on a circle will be a periodic function of an angular variable

ω. It repeats its values for t = t + T = t + 2π/ω, where T is its period in seconds.
Then, the cyclic frequency of the sinusoid is f = 1/T Hz (cycles/second). The
independent variable t, while time in most applications, can be anything else also,
such as distance.
Sinusoids x(t) = 2 cos( 2π 8 t) and x(t) = sin( 8 t) are shown in Fig. 1.4a. Cosine
2π

and sine waveforms are special cases of a sinusoidal waveform. Cosine waveform
has its peak value 2 at t = 0. Taking it as a reference, its phase is defined as

zero radians. The radian frequency is ω = 2π/8 radians/second. Its period is

T = 2π/ω = 8 seconds. That is, it makes one complete cycle in 8 s, as shown in the
figure, and repeats indefinitely for −∞ < t < ∞. Its cyclic frequency is f = 1/8
Hz. The sine waveform x(t) = sin( 2π 8 t) has its peak value 1 at t = 2. Taking the
cosine waveform as the reference, its first peak occurs after a delay of 2 s, which is
one-fourth of a cycle in the period 8. Since one complete cycle corresponds to 2π
radians or 360◦ , its phase is defined as −π/2 radians or −90◦ . That is,
   
2π 2π π
sin t = cos t−
8 8 2

Therefore, given a sinusoidal waveform in terms of sine waveform, it can be

expressed, in terms of cosine waveform as A sin(ωt + θ ) = A cos(ωt + (θ − π2 )).
Similarly, A cos(ωt + θ ) = A sin(ωt + (θ + π2 )). Sinusoids remain the same by a
shift of an integral number of their periods, as they are periodic.

1.3.2 The Rectangular Form of Sinusoids

Figure 1.4b shows the sinusoid

in solid line. Its peak value of 1 occurs at t = 2/3 s. Therefore, its phase is
−((2/3)/8)2π = −π/6 radians or −30◦ . Using the trigonometric subtraction
formula, we get the rectangular form as

The rectangular form expresses a sinusoid as the sum of its sine and cosine
components, which are also, respectively, its odd and even components. The sine
and cosine components are shown, respectively, by dotted and dashed lines in the
figure. In general, we get

A cos(ωt + θ ) = A cos(θ ) cos(ωt) − A sin(θ ) sin(ωt) = C cos(ωt) + D sin(ωt)

where

C = A cos θ and D = −A sin θ

Sum of Sinusoids with the Same Frequency

An important property of the sinusoids is that the sum of sinusoids of the same
frequency, but with arbitrary amplitudes and phases, is also a sinusoid of the
same frequency. In order to find the sum, we have to express the sinusoids in
their rectangular form and sum the respective amplitudes of the sine and cosine
components. Consider the two sinusoids

x(t) = A cos(ωt + θ ) and y(t) = B cos(ωt + φ)

Then,

z(t) = x(t) + y(t) = C cos(ωt + ψ) = A cos(ωt + θ ) + B cos(ωt + φ)

= cos(ωt)(A cos(θ ) + B cos(φ)) − sin(ωt)(A sin(θ ) + B sin(φ))
= cos(ωt)(C cos(ψ)) − sin(ωt)(C sin(ψ))

Solving for C and ψ, we get

C= A2 + B 2 + 2AB cos(θ − φ)
A sin(θ ) + B sin(φ)
ψ = tan−1
A cos(θ ) + B cos(φ)
With θ = 0 and φ = −π/2 (one sinusoid being the cosine and the other being
sine), the formula reduces to relation between the polar and the rectangular form of
a sinusoid.

1.3.3 The Complex Sinusoids

While the sinusoidal waveform is generated by practical systems, its mathematically

equivalent form, called the complex sinusoid,

v(t) = V ej (ωt+θ) = V ej θ ej ωt , −∞ < t < ∞

is found to be indispensable for analysis due to its compact form and ease of
manipulation of the exponential function. ej ωt is the complex sinusoid with unit
magnitude and zero phase. The complex (amplitude) coefficient is V ej θ . The
amplitude and phase of the sinusoid is represented by the single complex number
V ej θ , in contrast to using two real values in the real sinusoid. Due to Euler’s identity,
we get

V  j (ωt+θ) 
v(t) = e + e−j (ωt+θ) = V cos(ωt + θ )
2
The complex exponential functions separately have no physical significance. Their
sum represents a physical variable, such as voltage. However, the response of a
system to V ej ωt yields enough information with ease to deduce the response to real
sinusoids.

Real Causal Exponential Signal

Another commonly encountered signal in signal and systems is the real causal
exponential signal, for example, e−2t u(t), shown in Fig. 1.5a.
The time constant, which is the inverse of the coefficient associated with the
independent variable t, is 1/2. The peak value is 1 at t = 0. At t = 1/2 (one

Exponentially Varying Amplitude Sinusoids

An exponentially varying amplitude sinusoid, Aeat cos(ωt + θ ), is obtained by

multiplying a sinusoid, A cos(ωt + θ ), by a real exponential, eat . The more familiar
constant amplitude sinusoid results when a = 0. If ω is equal to zero, then we get
a real exponential. Sinusoids, x(t) = e−0.12t cos( 2π

with exponentially varying amplitudes are shown, respectively, in Fig. 1.6a and b.

1.4 System Modeling

Practical systems have to be modeled for their analysis and design. Further, these
models have to be simulated for verification of the response. Various physical
systems, such as mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic, are composed of different
12 1 Introduction

components. A system is called dynamic, if its present output depends on past

inputs. An example is the input–output relationship of an inductor or a spring. The
output varies until equilibrium condition is reached. The output of a static system
depends only on current input. An example is the input–output relationship of a
resistor or a dashpot.
A mathematical model of a system, that is sufficiently accurate and of lowest
possible complexity, has to be first developed. Neither it is necessary nor it
is possible to develop a precise model of a practical system as the required
performance of engineering systems is always specified with some tolerance levels
(not exact).
For many practical systems, a constant-coefficient linear differential equation
model can be obtained that represents the system with acceptable tolerances. While
resistors and dashpots are characterized by a linear equation, springs, masses,
inductors, and capacitors need derivative terms to characterize them. Once the
mathematical model of components of a system is known, depending on the
configuration, a model can be developed. The procedure for obtaining an adequate
model is to start with a simple model and keep on refining it until we get an
acceptable one. The response of the mathematical model must be compared with
simulation results for the validation of the model.
A linear time-invariant differential equation, with which we are mostly involved
in this book, has an input, an output, and their derivatives in a linear combination.
For example,

dy
+ 4y = cos(t)
dt
is a first-order (contains only the first derivative of y) constant-coefficient differen-
tial equation. While we can use the differential equation model for complete analysis
and design of systems, as it is difficult for practical systems, it is not used in this
form. The total response of a linear system consists of a component called, zero-
input response, that is due to the initial conditions alone. Another component, called
zero-state response, is due to the input alone. From these responses, we can derive
the transient and steady-state components. Both components are important in the
analysis and design of control systems. For stable systems, the transient response
decays to negligible levels in a short time and, after that, what is remaining is
essentially steady-state response.
In general, the highest derivative of y present determines the order of the
equation. While the first model we derive is a differential equation, it is the
most difficult model to solve. Therefore, out of necessity, other models have
been developed. Out of these models, we use transform and state-space models
extensively in the analysis and design of control systems. The transform model uses
the complex exponentials to represent arbitrary signals and system responses. The
input and output of systems are related by the transfer function. While the transfer
function model can be used for somewhat higher-order models and excellent for
understanding the theory of linear systems, it cannot be used for practical systems,
1.5 Summary 13

since the order involved is very high. Further, the model based on transform is
applicable only for linear systems. The ultimate solution for practical use is the
state-space model. This model is more general than other models with several
advantages. In this model, a N-th order differential equation is decomposed into
a set of N simultaneous first-order differential equations. Control system analysis
and design is highly mathematical. But, one can become sufficiently proficient: (i)
through practicing with paper-and-pencil method for lower-order systems and (ii)
using widely prevalent software packages, such as MATLAB , for computation and
simulation of higher-order systems. In the rest of the book, we have provided both
the analytical and simulation methods with numerical examples. While the state-
space model will be presented in later chapters, the Laplace transform is introduced
in the next chapter and, subsequently, used for system analysis and design.

velocity, acceleration, etc.
• Signals have to be decomposed in terms of some well-defined basic signals, such
as the impulse and sinusoid, for compact representation and easier processing.
Systems can be characterized by their responses to the basic signals, impulse,
unit-step, ramp, parabola type, and sinusoids.
• In control systems, the specifications of a system are usually given in terms of its
unit-step response. The unit-step signal has a value of one for positive values of
its argument t and its value is zero otherwise.
• The impulse function is called a generalized function, since it is defined by the
result of its operation (integration) on an ordinary function.
• The unit-ramp signal linearly increases, with unit slope, for positive values of its
argument and its value is zero for negative values of its argument.
• The unit-parabolic signal quadratically increases for positive values of its
argument and its value is zero for negative values of its argument. The unit-
parabolic signal is the integral of the unit-ramp signal.
• A general sinusoidal waveform is a linear combination of trigonometric sine and
cosine waveforms or shifted sine and cosine functions.
14 1 Introduction

• While the sinusoidal waveform is generated by practical systems, its mathemati-

cally equivalent form, called the complex sinusoid,

v(t) = V ej (ωt+θ) = V ej θ ej ωt , −∞ < t < ∞

is found to be indispensable for analysis due to its compact form and ease of
manipulation of the exponential function.
• Another commonly encountered signal in signal and systems is the real causal
exponential signal.
• Practical systems have to be modeled for their analysis and design. Further, these
models have to be simulated for verification of the response.
• The procedure for obtaining an adequate model is to start with a simple model
and keep on refining it until we get an acceptable one.

1.2 Express the sinusoid in rectangular form. Get back the polar form from the
rectangular form and verify that the given sinusoid is obtained. Find the
sample values of the sinusoid for t = 0, t = 2, t = 4, and t = 6. Find
the value of t nearest to t = 0, where the first positive peak of the sinusoid
occurs?
