Abstract

We consider the use of linear multivariable feedback control to achieve a nonovershooting step response. A method is given for designing a linear time invariant state feedback controller to asymptotically track a constant step reference with zero overshoot and arbitrarily small rise time, under some mild assumptions. We present a unified design method that can be applied to continuous and discrete time systems, square and non-square systems, minimum and nonminimum phase systems, and also strictly proper and nonstrictly proper systems.
