LQG Synthesis
This chapter discusses the LQG Synthesis
window, which is used to
synthesize a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller for a SISO plant.
If you select LQG synthesis with a MIMO plant, you will get the MIMO
LQG Synthesis
window described in Chapter 12,
LQG Synthesis Window Anatomy
The LQG Synthesis
window is shown in Figure 7-1. From top to bottom,
it contains:
•
A menu bar with entries

.
•
A message area that describes the synthesis mode (type of controller);
for example,
LQG with integral action
.
•
A control panel for changing the four design parameters:
–
Control cost parameter (
ρ
)
–
Sensor noise parameter (
υ
)
–
Integral action time constant (
T
int
)
–
Decay rate or exponential time weighting parameter (
a
)
These parameters are described in greater detail later in this chapter.
