Indirect model-matching technique for multicontroller systems

An indirect state-feedback technique for matching a controllable multicontroller system to a given model is presented. By this technique the multicontroller system is transformed to its Asseo phase-variable canonical form prior to the application of the state-feedback control. The cases where the system under control and the model are equidimensional or not are considered, and a solution to the model-matching problem by using output feedback is provided. The theory is illustrated by three examples.
