Sensitivity points-based self-tuning

Sensitivity points tuning concepts, extension of these concepts to the self-tuning of multiinput/multioutput (MIMO) systems, and implementation issues are discussed. The means of generating the sensitivities needed for tuning is developed in a matrix transfer function form. A block diagram interpretation is presented to illustrate the conceptual clarity of using MIMO sensitivity points. The effectiveness of the self-tuning technique is demonstrated through the application of self-tuning to a magnetic suspension system.<
