Answer: I will request NPTEL admin to upload the pdfs once the review of the course is done.
Answer: In the introduction, there is hardly any scope for numerical examples. Examples are included in subsequent topics. However, more examples will be added, if possible, during revision.
Answer: Can you please clarify your question a bit? I did not completely get your point.
Answer: I do not see any question
Answer: The micro-controller will replace the digital controller in the block diagram. Based on the system(plant) and the requirement the controller should be designed using the techniques described in the course. You may use pen, paper and a separate computer for this. Once the controller is designed it has to properly coded in the micro-controller. A real-time example for control desig is given in appendix A.
Answer: Please stick to questions related to the topics of this course.
Answer: Reactance is not an imaginary value. But please try to refrain the questions within the course domain.
Answer: Sorry, this course does not have any provision for that.
Answer: We will upload 1/2 pages about modified z-transform once the course review is done.
Answer: It will be corrected during uploading of revised lectures.
Answer: The difference equation is y[(k+n)T] + a1 y[(k+n-1)T]+ --- + an y[kT] = x[(k+m)T] + b1 x[(k+m-1)T] + --- + bm x[kT] for causality m <= n y[kT] = x[(k-1)T] can also be written as y[(k1 + 1)T] = x[k1 T] (where k1 = k +1) Thus n=1 and m =0. This system is causal. The best way to find out n and m is : Find out the transfer function Y(z)/X(z) in power of z. The highest power of the numerator is m and denominator is n. In this case Y(z)/X(z) = 1 / z which also tells us that n=1 and m=0. If the lecture note is creating any confusion, I will upload a modified one after revision.
Answer: Yes. Thank you. I have also noticed this typo. All such typographical errors will be corrected when we upload the revised lectures.
Answer: Yes, it is. Thanks again.
Answer: Yes. You can check the following books for continuous time optimal control. 1. D. E. Kirk, Optimal Control Theory: An Introduction, Prentice-Hall, 2004. 2. B.D.O. Anderson and J.B. Moore, Optimal Control: Linear Quadratic Methods, 2007.
Answer: controllability and observability tests only require matrix multiplication for which MATLAB can be used. you should try to write the code.
Answer: It is a web course only.
