Loop transfer recovery (LTR) has gained some prominence over the last
years. In this paper, we briefly overview the main design features of
the LQG/LTR controller both at the input and at the output of the plan
t, using the delta operator formulation that has been recently develop
ed in [1]. Two discrete time compensators with LTR capability are then
derived following the LTR design approach proposed in [2] for the con
tinuous-time case. These compensators are shown to outperform their un
derlying LQG/LTR controllers from the perspective of recovery error. O
f particular importance, they share the same degree of recovery as the
continuous time compensators of [2] and [3] when the sampling period
goes to zero.
