Deadbeat predictive controller: a system identification approach

A deadbeat predictive controller designed from input/output relationship of a linear system is presented in this paper. The method exploits an observable canonical form representation of the system under identification, and combines together the concepts of system identification and predictive controller design. There are two design parameters involved to determine the performance of the controller on-line. The formulation also satisfies simultaneously system identification and predictive controller design. Numerical example is given to illustrate the predictive controller performance.
