Sensitivity and Robustness of Sampled-data Control Systems: A frequency Domain Viewpoint

Julio H. Braslavsky, Rick H. Middleton and Jim S. Freudenberg
Abstract
In this paper we consider a frequency domain, input-output based approach to the analysis of hybrid sampled-data systems. Based on previous works, we expound a frequency-domain lifting technique as an alternative to the time-domain lifting framework for sampled-data systems. In some cases, the approach pursued here can provide simpler, more intuitive methods than time-domain lifting techniques to the analysis of the same problems. As applications, we consider the induced L2 norms of the hybrid Sensitivity and Complementary Sensitivity Operators, and the stability robustness of the hybrid system to linear time-invariant perturbations. In particular, for the SISO case, ``closed form'' expressions arise for the induced norms, and the conditions for robust stability with multiplicative uncertainty reduce to a rank-one structured singular value test.

Keywords: Sampled-data systems, Frequency response, Sensitivity, Robust stability.
