Overview

Using the techniques and reusable code in this book, embedded systems developers can design control systems without the advanced calculus skills that are typically required. Mathematical derivations are avoided, making the methods accessible to developers with no background in control system engineering. Thorough simulation and testing techniques are recommended to compensate for the lack of mathematical rigor in this method. This book describes these procedures in a step-by-step format. For the more advanced algorithms, this book shows how to apply the best available software tools for control system design: MATLAB and its toolboxes.

Author Information

Jim Ledin, P.E., is an electrical engineer providing simulation-related consulting services. Over the past 18 years, he has worked on all phases of non-real-time and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation in support of the testing and evaluation of air-to-air and surface-to-air missile systems at the Naval Air Warfare Center in Point Mugu, Calif. He also served as the principal simulation developer for three HIL simulation laboratories for the NAWC. Jim has presented at ADI User Society international meetings and the Embedded Systems Conference, and has written for Embedded Systems Programming magazine and Dr. Dobb's Journal.
