✦ Synopsis

A conceptually lucid approach to practical controller design is presented for Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems. Algebraic manipulations are used to parameterize reference models which can be matched by a controlledplant with total stability. Novel techniques allow unprecedented flexibility in reference model selection. Controller synthesis is performed in the frequency domain. The plant models may be stable or unstable, possess nonminimum-phase zeros and need not have the same number of' outputs as inputs. Examples are provided at each step of the theoretical development in order to illustrate the key concepts. Part I dealt with stable plants. Part II extends the design approach to plants which may be open-loop unstable.
