Abstract
In this paper, a design method of multivariable discrete time adaptive control is presented. In the first, decoupling with simultaneous exact model matching for multivariable system is developed and then is applied to the construction of adaptive control system. The design method developed in this paper is based on the clear recognition that the model reference adaptive control is an extention of exact model matching under the condition of that the plant parameters are unknown. By choosing a reference model as a diagonal transfer matrix where each element represents a desired transfer function, decoupling and exact model matching are achieved simultaneously. Computer simulations show good results.
