Robust Pole Placement Using Two-Pole Dominant Models

Abstract In this paper, we consider the problem of robust pole placement using fixed-order compensation. It is assumed that the coefficients of the numerator and denominator polynomials of the uncertain plant depend muitilinearly on the "parameters" and that the design specifications are given in the form of a two-pole dominant model. We present a design methodology for choosing a fixed-order compensator which ensures that all the roots of the closed loop polynomial lie in the regions prescribed by the two-pole dominant model.
