Abstract

This paper presents an improved non‐sequential multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) design methodology for uncertain systems. A non‐sequential MIMO QFT stability theorem is derived that serves as the basis for an improvement of the design methodology, whereby it can be successfully applied to non‐minimum phase systems, albeit with a degree of conservatism partially inherent in independent and decentralized design methodologies. The results reduce the conservatism in a non‐sequential MIMO QFT design and provide insight into the plant cases for which the methodology can be successfully applied.
