Time: 3 hours Max Marks: 80
Answer any FIVE Questions
All Questions carry equal marks
?????

1. (a) Explain about different components of adaptive control system.

(b) Explain the concept of Autotuming. [8+8]
2. (a) Explain the statistical interpretation of least square estimate.
(b) Write about recursive least squares with exponential forgetting. [8+8]
3. In sampling a continuous time process model with h = 1, the following pulse transfer function is
obtained :
Z+1.2
H(z) = Z 2 −Z+0.25
The design specifications states that the discrete time closed loop poles should correspond to the
continuous time characteristic polynomial s2 +2s+1.
(a) Design a minimal order discrete time indirect STR. The controller should have integral action and
give a closed loop system having unit gain in stationary. Determine the Diophantine equation
that solves the design problem.
(b) Suggest a design that includes direct estimation of the controller parameters.

4. (a) Explain the self tuning feed forward control.
(b) Discuss the properties of minimum variance controller with an example. [7+9]
5. (a) State and prove Lyapunov stability theorem for time invariant systems.
(b) Explain methods for finding Lyapunov functions. [8+8]
6. (a) Explain the adaptation of a feed forward gain.

(b) Describe the Error model of the form ε = G (P ) ΦT (t) θ0 − θ . [8+8]
7. Determine the period of the limit cycle obtained when processes with transfer functions
(a) G(s)= ks e−sL

(b) G(s) = (s+1)3

(c) G(s) = s12

are provided with relay feedback. Use both approximate and exact methods.
