302 figures)
The book presents some theorems and design rules'
justifications, and develops a theoretical basis for the practical design
approach taught in Classical Feedback Control. The difference
between these two books is that Feedback Maximization is more
theoretical, it is of interest for a practicing engineer and also for a
reasearcher. It includes some theories, proofs of concepts, and numerical
examples and experiments not included in the textbook
Classical Feedback Control.
The book describes synthesis methods for feedback
systems with nonlinear dynamic compensation, which allows for increased
feeback while preserving robustness, global stability, good transient
responses, and, if required, stability of the output processes.
The text is intended for the designers of single-loop
and multiloop feeback systems employed in controllers, tracking systems,
amplifiers, phase-locked loops, active filters, and power supplies.
