Optimal response in SISO ripple-free deadbeat systems

The ripple-free deadbeat control problem for single-input-single-output (SISO) plants subjected to arbitrary reference signals is considered. The tradeoff between the settling time and the integral square error between the system output and the reference input is investigated. Given a specific order of the controller, the design of an optimal ripple-free deadbeat controller is discussed. An illustrative example to show the feasibility of the proposed algorithm is presented.<>
