Smart Antenna Systems for 5G, Radar, Navigation and Satellite Technologies

Introduction

This book introduces a unique, packet-based co-design control framework for networked control systems.

Survey of Research

It begins by providing a comprehensive survey of state-of-the-art research on networked control systems, giving the reader a general overview of the field.

Verification of Framework

It subsequently verifies the proposed control framework both theoretically and experimentally, respectively – the former using multiple control methodologies, and the latter using a unique online test rig for networked control systems.

Communication Constraints

The framework thoroughly investigates the most common communication constraints including network-induced delays, data packet dropout, data packet disorders, network access constraints, etc.

Control Design and Analysis Tools

It also covers multiple controller design and system analysis tools including model predictive control, linear matrix inequalities, optimal control, etc.

Benefits

This unique and complete co-design framework will greatly benefit researchers, graduate students and engineers in the fields of control theory and engineering.
