ABSTRACT

Note, the starred functions represent impulse transfer functions; e.g., Y*(s) represents the ideal impulse transform of Y(s). These equations are manipulated and transformed to yield the input/output z-domain relationships:

1 + L(z) L(z)

where = GzoP(z)Gl(z) (4.39)

(4.40)

P(s)

PD(z)=Z[P(s)D(S)}

TR(z)= F(z)L(z) \ + L(z)

(4.42)

(4.43)

_ PD(?) 1 + L(z)

Substituting Eq. (4.40) into Eq. (4.39) yields

L(z) = G!(z)(l - z -i )pe (z) = Gj (z)Pz (z)

Note, for a unit step disturbance input function, D(s) = 1/s, that

and thus

The QFT design is based upon the uncertain plant being defined by Eq. (4.41). Once L(z) has been synthesized then the controller G/(z). which is to be implemented, is readily determined.
