Course Lecture Notes

Unless otherwise noted, all course materials supplied to students in this course have been prepared by the instructor and are intended for use in this course only. These materials are NOT to be re-circulated digitally, whether by email or by uploading or copying to websites, or to others not enrolled in this course. Violation of this policy may in some cases constitute a breach of academic integrity as defined in the UVic Calendar.

Matlab Demos:

Plot the closed-loop time response for an open-loop transfer function

Plot the root-locus and analyse the closed-loop step response

Analyse the closed-loop response using the open-loop bode plot

Lead compensator:lead_c.m and Lag compensator: lag_c.m
(see also the diary files lead_c.out and lag_c.out) for Ex. 9.1 and 9.2 respectively.
