Digita Redesign of Observer-Based Output Feedback Controller

This paper concerns a new digital redesign (DR) technique for an observer-based output-feedback control (OBOFC) system. The term DR involves converting an analog controller into an equivalent digital one in the sense of state-matching. The considered DR problem is formulated as convex minimization problems of the norm distances between linear operators to be matched. The stability condition is easily embedded and the separation principle on the DR of the OBOFC is explicitly shown. A numerical example is included for visualizing the feasibility of the proposed technique.
