Abstract

Abstract: The newly-developed structured H ∞ paradigm provides a powerful and versatile tool for multi-variable/multi-requirement control synthesis, with successful applications growing rapidly. However, due to its versatility, insights arising naturally from the standard (i.e., unstructured) H ∞ framework as well as other design choices are easily overlooked. Hence, this paper shows how this type of information can be exploited to have better systematic understanding and control solutions. As application scenario, the design and analysis of a robust glide-slope approach controller is addressed. This controller is part of a complete automatic landing system developed under the scope of an aircraft landing challenge proposed by ONERA and AIRBUS.
