Simultaneous Stabilization and Pole Assignment by Two Level Controllers Consisting of a Gain Feedback and a Multirate Input Controller

Abstract

A method of simultaneous pole assignment of a finite number of plant models is studied. Extending the idea of multi-structured multirate sampled-data controllers proposed in our previous work, this paper proposes a new method where a continuous-time gain feedback controller instead of a multirate sampled-data controller is used as the “internal structure.” By the proposed method, the plants precompensated by the internal structure can generally be made to satisfy an existing sufficient condition for simultaneous pole-assignability, and hence the class of the plant models for which simultaneous pole assignment can be attained becomes wider than that by the previous results. In particular, simultaneous pole assignment becomes possible for any finite number of plant models, provided that each model is controllable and observable.
