$H_{\infty}$ Controller of seeker scan-loop is designed using LSDP proposed by McFarlane. The performance and robustness of $H_{\infty}$ controller are analyzed using robustness theorems by Lehtomaki and compared with those of the LQG/LTR controller. Especially, structured singular value .mu. -test of Doyle is used to evaluate robust performance of seeker scan-loop. It is demonstated that seeker scan-loop by $H_{\infty}$ controller is very robust to model uncertainties described by additive and multiplicative perturbations.

For improving the performance of maglev systems with a combined lift and guidance, it is suggested that the multivariable control systems and a secondary suspension should be added. The former is required to reject both track irregularities in vertical disturbances and wind gusts in lateral disturbances, and the latter to guarantee passengers against an unsatisfied criteria in ride quality. In this paper, bond graph model for the study of nonlinear dynamics of maglev systems with a combined lift and guidance is presented briefly. And, the secondary suspension is analyzed to understand the role of stiffness and damping factors in passive devices. Finally, LQG/LTR mulitivariable control systems are designed for the overall maglev systems with and without secondary suspension, and then the system performances in these two cases are evaluated.

This study presents a simple genetic algorithm to systematically design a PID controller for a hydraulic positioning system operated by a proportional solenoid valve. The inverse dead-zone compensator with nonlinear characteristics is used to cancel out the dead-zone phenomenon in the hydraulic system. The object function considering overshoot, settling time, and control input is adopted to search for optimal PID gains. The designed PID controller is compared with the LQG/LTR controller to check the performance of the hydraulic positioning system in the time and frequency domains. The experimental results show that the hydraulic servo system with the proposed PID controller responds effectively to the various types of reference input.
