Improving transient performance of signal transformation approach

A method is proposed to significantly improve the transient performance of Signal Transformation Approach (STA). For triangular reference signals, the proposed method is shown to be equivalent to a recently proposed hybrid control method, known as Impulsive State Multiplication (ISM), if the compensator contains at least two integrators. Effectiveness of the proposed method in tracking of arbitrary waveforms other than the triangular signals is also investigated. Relevant results governing SISO LTI state-space systems with more than one integrator are also obtained.
