Description
Digital control systems are replacing most of the conventional analogue systems, so it is important for all newly trained control engineers to be conversant with the advantages and limitations of such systems. Aimed at advanced undergraduate/MSc level students, this book aims to present a generic approach to such control methods in order to facilitate a wide range of applications.
