Abstract:

In this report, it was shown how the locations of the closedloop poles of a feedback control system may be specified and the necessary compensation may be found. This compensation does not require the use of cancellation or nullification of open-loop poles and zeros. The method is exact and involves nothing more difficult than the solution of a set of simultaneous equations. This next problem to be faced is how to specify the locations of the closed-loop poles so that the system meets the requirements without over- constraining anything. A method of getting from general specifications to mathematical constraints is needed.
