MIMO-QFT CAD PACKAGE (VERSION-3)

The MIMO/QFT CAD package is capable of carrying through a multivariabl e control system robust design, for tracking and the rejection of exte rnal disturbance signals, from problem set-up to a frequency domain an alysis of the compensated system. The package automates: the selection of the weighting matrix; the discretization of the plants; the format ion of the square effective plants; the polynomial matrix inverse requ ired to form the equivalent plants; the generation of templates; the s election of a nominal plant; the generation of stability, tracking, cr oss-coupling effects, external disturbance rejection, gamma and compos ite bounds; the loop shaping; and the design of the prefilter elements . This is followed by a frequency-domain analysis of the completed des ign, and export of this design to the MATLAB SIMULINK(R) toolbox in or der to validate the frequency domain design by time-domain simulations .
