A Design Method for Two-Degree-of-Freedom Simple Multi-Period Repetitive Control Systems

Abstract

The multi-period repetitive (MPR) control system is a type of servomechanism for periodic reference inputs. Using MPR controllers, transfer functions from the reference input to the output and from the disturbance to the output of the MPR control system have infinite numbers of poles. To specify the input-output characteristic and the disturbance attenuation characteristic easily, Yamada and Takenaga proposed MPR control systems, named simple multi-period repetitive (simple MPR) control systems, where these transfer functions have finite numbers of poles. In addition, Yamada and Takenaga clarified the parameterization of all stabilizing simple MPR controllers. However, using the simple MPR repetitive controller by Yamada and Takenaga, we cannot specify the input-output characteristic and the disturbance attenuation characteristic separately. From the practical point of view, it is desirable to specify the input-output characteristic and the disturbance attenuation characteristic separately. The purpose of this paper is to propose the parameterization of all stabilizing two-degree-of-freedom (TDOF) simple MPR controllers that can specify the input-output characteristic and the disturbance attenuation characteristic separately.
