Abstract

This book is concerned with fundamental limits in the design of feedback control systems and filters. These limits tell us what is feasible and, conversely, what is infeasible, in a given set of circumstances. Their significance arises from the fact that they subsume any particular solution to a problem by defining the characteristics of all possible solutions.

Notes and References

  • Some of the studies of Bode seem to have been paralleled in Europe. For example, some old books refer to the Bode gain-phase relationship as the Bayard-Bode gain-phase relationship (e.g., Gille, Pelegrin & Decaulne (1959, pp. 154–155), Naslin (1965)), although precise references are not given. §1.3 is mainly extracted from Middleton (1991).
