ECE 480L: FUND CONTROL LAB
California State University, Northridge
Prerequisite: ECE 350. Corequisite: ECE 480. As an accompaniment of 3-unit course of Fundamental of Control Systems (ECE480), this laboratory provides experiments to verify theoretical studies and to use their applications in the design of a control system with given specifications. The experiments are mainly electrical circuits with actual measurements and simulations and design applications using system response, Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion, system identification, steady state error, root-locus, Nyquist criterion, and the effects of disturbance. Use of MATLAB, SIMULINK and PSPICE is emphasized for analysis and design. Available for graduate credit. 3-hours of lab per week.
