Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, the achievable tracking performance limitations of discrete-time, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) networked control systems (NCSs) are studied. The channel is modeled as an additive white Gaussian noise and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) limited channel with feedback. Under this framework, the closed relationships among stabilization, tracking performance, and SNR limited are quantitatively revealed. Some new results a.erived according to the allpass factorization and Youla parameterization of two degrees of freedom controller. The results show that the best tracking performance is in connection with the unstable poles, non-minimum phase zeros of the system. It is also demonstrated that the tracking performance will be badly degraded by feedback channel noise and due to the SNR limited. Finally, a simulation example is presented to validate the conclusions.
