Interpolation of observer state feedback controllers for gain scheduling
The authors propose a method of interpolating linear time-invariant controllers with observer state feedback structure in order to generate a continuously varying family of controllers that stabilizes a family of linear plants. Gain scheduling is a motivation for this work, and the interpolation method yields guidelines for the design of gain scheduled controllers. The method is illustrated with the design of a missile autopilot using loop-shaping H-infinity controllers.
