Partial LTR Design of Optimal Output Disturbance Cancellation Controllers for Non-Minimum Phase Plants

Abstract For non-minimum phase plants, a partial LTR design of optimal output disturbance cancellation controllers is discussed. A target recoverable by the partial LTR procedure is identified as an output injection with a frequency-shaped gain matrix. The partial LTR result is used to clarify system-theoretic meaning of enforcing the minimum phase LTR procedure. It is shown that the partial LTR procedure provides more design freedom in shaping target feedback property than the enforced minimum phase LTR procedure.
