2nd-Order Systems: Derivations of %OS and Rise Time, and Simulation-Based Dynamic ValidationIn classical control engineering, 2nd-order systems form the foundation for evaluating dynamic performance metrics such as overshoot, response speed, and stability margins. In this post, we mathematically derive the exact closed-form expressions for Percentage Overshoot (%OS) and Rise Time (t_r) in terms ..

1st-Order Systems: Poles, Zeros, Rise Time, and Final Value TheoremIn control system design, the 1st-order system serves as the foundational building block for understanding all higher-order dynamics. In this post, we explore the mathematical properties of 1st-order systems by deriving the DC offset via the Final Value Theorem, proving why rise time equals 2.3tau, and analyzing how pole and zero..

Chapter 4. Suppressing Derivative Noise: 1st/2nd-Order Low-Pass Filters (LPF) and 2nd-Order IIR Discrete RealizationIn high-performance flight controllers, the derivative termof a PID controller acts as a vital damping mechanism. However, because real sensor signals contain high-frequency noise (such as frame vibrations or IMU jitter), pure numerical differentiation amplifies this noise, causing..

Chapter 3. PID Control Design: Physical Interpretation of Gains, Cascaded Control, and LimitationsWith our 6DOF physics engine complete, we now have a full transformation pipeline: converting motor outputs into target attitudes and mapping raw sensor measurements into Inertial Frame states. The next step is designing a **feedback controller** that continuously computes the necessary motor thrust..

Fourier Series to Fourier Transform and Frequency Response: Evolution to Laplace TransformThe core of automatic control and signal analysis lies in transforming differential equations from the Time Domain into the Frequency Domain to analyze system dynamics intuitively. In this post, we will logically trace and connect the mathematical journey starting from the concept of frequency decomposition..
