Multivariable Control by Transfer Function Matrix

Chapter
First Online:

Abstract

Multi-input multi-output control, also called multivariable control, is often met in practice. In this chapter, it is considered by the means of transfer function matrices. General stability properties, decoupling, relative gain array are explained with examples. Multivariable internal control concludes the chapter.
