Introduction to Control Systems: Characteristics, time response, steady-state error. Open-loop and closed-loop concepts, transfer function, time domain, frequency domain, stability of linear feedback control systems, Root Locus method, Bode diagram. Nyquist plot. Design of feedback control systems: Principles of design, design with the PD, PI, and PID controllers. Performance evaluation of feedback control systems. Compensation: phase-lead, phase-lag, and lead-lag compensation.
