Abstract :
Proposed in this paper is a design procedure for improved system performance when actuator saturation is present. A new controller architecture together with the basic methodology suggested by Horowitz (1983) and the idea of nonovershooting transfer functions developed by Jayasuriya (1996) provide the essential framework for the technique. The design procedure is quite simple and simulation results compare very favorably with those of Horowitz (1983). The method is applicable to type n systems as well as conditionally stable systems
