Features: This book introduces the basic concepts and methods of automatic control theory, including the main contents of classical control theory and modern control theory, and is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate students in information science for foundational courses and for students in non-automatic disciplines of science and engineering. The book is divided into 7 chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction, introducing the basic concepts, definitions, and terminology of control systems. Chapter 2 discusses the mathematical models of control systems, covering the time-domain models, complex-domain models, and state-space descriptions of continuous systems. Chapter 3 analyzes the time-domain behavior of linear systems, providing detailed discussions on methods for analyzing system dynamic performance, steady-state performance, and stability. Chapter 4 explores the frequency-domain analysis of linear systems, introducing the frequency characteristics and frequency-domain analysis methods of linear systems. Chapter 5 covers the compensation of linear systems, discussing the principles and methods of compensation, with a focus on the design of PID controllers and their role in system compensation. Chapter 6 examines the analysis of sampled systems, introducing the z-transform, pulse transfer function, and methods for analyzing discrete systems. Chapter 7 discusses the state-space analysis and design of linear time-invariant systems, covering basic state-space analysis and design methods. Schools can select relevant chapters based on their professional needs to organize teaching. The book is characterized by concise content, clear focus, and an emphasis on mastering and applying fundamental concepts and principles. It is particularly suitable for the requirements of automatic control theory courses with limited class hours.
