In this book, the current theoretical background needed for the development of control systems is provided. Apart from the standard methods using Bode, Nyquist and root locus plots, state space techniques are also in use. Discrete time control has assumed more importance with the advent of digital signals. Fuzzy logic is also used in designing controllers, since Edward Mamdani (1971) developed this pioneering control of a steam engine using this technique. Most books on control systems do not deal with the associated components of a system||About the Author: Dr. Sunita Joshi is presently an Associate Professor at Department of Biochemistry, Daulat Ram College, University of Delhi with more than 25 years of teaching experience.
