LQG/H-Infinity Synthesis
This chapter describes the MIMO LQG/H
∞
Synthesis window. The
LQG
/
H
∞
window is used to synthesize both LQG and H
∞
controllers.
The two design methods have been combined in a single window because
of the similarity regarding the use of weights: constant weights,
frequency-dependent weights, and integrators.
Window Anatomy
The MIMO LQG/H
∞
Synthesis window consists of a main window and
four auxiliary windows for editing constant weights, frequency-dependent
weight functions, decay rate, and performance level.
LQG/H-Infinity Main Window
The LQG/H
∞
Main window is shown in Figure 12-1. From top to bottom,
it consists of:
•
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 five design parameters:
–
Control cost parameter (
ρ
)
–
Sensor noise parameter (
ν
)
–
Integral action time constant (
T
int
)
–
Decay rate or exponential time weighting parameter (

)
–
H

performance level (
γ
