Homework Assignment #2


assigned: Wed 30th January, 2008

due:        Friday 8 February, 2008

H2) Using the archives of the IEEE Control System Magazine, select an application of a feedback control system. Summarize and describe this application to the class via PowerPoint slides.

Exploring the IEEE Control System Magazine on-line: Past issues of the IEEE Control System Magazine can be viewed (and printed from) on-line:

UMass home page > Libraries > E-Journals > IEEE Control Systems.

Explore the magazine (issues range back from 1988), and select an article (a feedback control application) that is of interest. For example, the most recent issue (Feb 2008) has article starting on page 20 on Stabilization for Film and Broadcast Cameras.

Prepare PowerPoint slides: For 8th February class, prepare (at least three) PowerPoint slides describing the application. For example:

Slide #1:

ECE 581
date
your name
citation of IEEE Control System Magazine article

Slide #2: describes application using bullets and pictures

Slide #3: expresses the feedback control application using a feedback control block diagram.
