Digital Signal Processing using Matlab, Vinay K. Ingle and John G. Proakis, 2nd Edition, Thomson, (2007) ISBN 03 Tutorials on exercises in text: 2 to 3 exercises per week totaling 30% of total course mark. Final Exam worth 70% of total course mark. * Tutorials Start in week 2 Exercises based on text and lectures Tutorial for help, to submit exercises and to get exercises marked. Exercises marked by tutor. 30% of course mark * Computer Control System y(t) AND u(t) continuous time signal A-D: analogue to digital converter Conversion done at sampling times tk Computer interprets converted signal { y(tk) } as a sequence of numbers … Computer then processes the measurements using an algorithm and gives a new sequence of numbers { u(tk) } … The sequence is then converted to an analogue signal by a D-A converter. Events synchronized by real time clock in the computer. Computer controlled system contains both continuous time signals and sampled (discrete time) signals. Such systems are also called Sampled Data Systems * A schematic diagram of a computer controlled system. * Computer Control Theory Using computers to implement controllers has advantages: There are no problems with accuracy or drift (evident with analogue implementation) Very easy to have sophisticated calculations in the control law Easy to include logic and nonlinear functions Use tables to store data * Computer Control Theory Times when measure signal is converted to digital form are called sampling instants Time between successive samplings is called sampling period and is denoted by h. Periodic sampling is normally used. You could sample when the output signals have changed by a certain amount or use different sampling periods for different loops in the system (called multi-rate sampling). * Computer
