The third edition of Control Systems: Principles and Design provides a unified treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time systems for two courses at the undergraduate level. The text continues to emphasize on frequency-domain design methods augmented with state variable methods for control systems analysis. Key Features: Integrated coverage of continuous-time and discrete-time systems. Suitable for two courses on control systems at the undergraduate level. New chapters on: Digital Control Systems (Ch -11) Nonlinear Systems (Ch - 14) State Variable Design (Ch ? 13) Emphasizes on the frequency-domain design methods using root locus and Nyquist/Bode/Nichol?s plots.
