Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and method for controlling the output of a dynamic system which is susceptible to changing dynamic characteristics. The desired present and future outputs of the system are applied to a predictor which determines the inputs to a model reference adaptive control subsystem from which the actual outputs are produced. The predictor uses an impulse model of the subsystem to simulate and predict future outputs. The adaptive control subsystem includes adjustable gain feedback or controlloops which are adjusted to make the dynamic system appear to have constant characteristics even when its dynamic characteristics are changing. A reference model of the dynamic system is used as the basis for the gain adjustments. The equation weights for the mathematical impulse model used by the input predictor are derived from the reference model of the adaptive control subsystem, and remain constant throughout the operation of the controller.
