Quantitative feedback design for tracking error tolerance
The feedback system tracking error is related rigorously to the sensitivity function S = 1/(1 + L). A two design degrees of freedom design procedure is presented that guarantees frequency-domain tracking error tolerances despite uncertainties in the feedback and feed-forward components of the system. This procedure is solidly based on and fits into the general framework of the Quantitative Feedback Theory of Horowitz.
