Abstract

A simplified multi-input/output (MIMO) formulation is being developed for the quantitative feedback theory (QFT) for the 2 × 2 (n = 2) case. This formulation is consistent with basic QFT philosophy in that performance is specified for the individual closed-loop transfer functions and design insight is provided for minimization of control bandwidths. The simplified formulation turns the solution of a simultaneous robust stability and robust model matching problem into a two (n in general) step procedure of solving constrained quadratic equations (whose coefficients are linear functions of the plants and the performance constraints); the traditional procedure requires six (n + 2n2 in general) steps for a similar problem. This establishes the main contribution of this paper. A numerical example is utilized to illustrate the simplified formulation and to demonstrate the QFT's procedure of minimization of control bandwidths in MIMO problems.
