Abstract
This letter presents static and dynamic parallel feedforward controller synthesis methods that render a linear time-invariant system minimum phase by augmenting its output. The system output is perturbed the least amount possible by minimizing the gain of the parallel feedforward controller while ensuring the augmented system is minimum phase. This is done by minimizing the maximum singular value of a static parallel feedforward controller or the weighted H∞ norm of a dynamic parallel feedforward controller. Static and dynamic parallel feedforward controllers are synthesized using direct and indirect methods that involve bilinear matrix inequality constraints and are solved iteratively using linear matrix inequalities. The direct method enforces a minimum gain constraint directly on the augmented system, while the indirect method solves for an asymptotically stabilizing negative feedback controller that is inverted to obtain the parallel feedforward controller. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller synthesis methods.
