In particular, the control engineer should understand the principles of sampling and quantization, and the basics of Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog Converters (ADC and DAC).

Digitization is the process of representing various types of information in a form that can be stored and processed by a digital device. It is the combined operations of sampling and quantization, …

In this chapter, we consider some of the fundamental issues and techniques in converting between analog and digital signals. For sampling, three fun-damental issues are (i) How are …

Sampled data system operates on discrete-time rather than continuous-time signals. A digital computer is used as the controller in such a system. A D/A converter is usually connected to …

Sampling operation in sampled data and digital control system is used to model either the sample and hold operation or the fact that the signal is digitally coded. If the sampler is used to …

Here's a reminder: Sampling: Sampling a continuous-time signal x(t) produces a discrete-time signal x[n] = x(nTs) where Ts= "sampling interval", fs= 1/Ts= "sampling rate" or "sampling …

Signals and interfaces in digital control systems: sampling, conversion, reconstruction

The sampling rate is an important parameter in the design of a digital control system. The best sampling rate for a digital control system is the lowest rate that meets all performance …

In this paper, we use the cell mapping method, a novel theory in dynamical system area, to study this effect. Through some classical examples, we could find this method is more precise and …

Understand the effects of sampling and quantization on system performance. Use simulation tools to model, simulate, and test digital control systems. Students are expected to be familiar with …
