Abstract :
An unstable third-order system is controlled digitally by pole-assignment technique and observer theory. The unstable plant is simulated on an EAI 680 analog computer, and a DEC-10 minicomputer is used to implement the controller. The minimum sampling rate required for stable operation is determined.
