About the Book

This textbook is designed for the undergraduate students of Engineering in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), Instrumentation and Control Engineering (ICE) and Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (EIE). It is written in such a way that students would find it easy to understand the concepts and apply them to resolve even difficult problems. Many examples have been given to facilitate understanding. The book gives an overview of the important application areas and categories of Control systems. A conscious and persistent effort has been made to relate these topics to their proper role in the larger scenario of engineering design. It covers the fundamental mathematics for system modelling applicable for Control Systems, Time Domain Analysis, Frequency Domain Analysis, Compensators and Control Systems applicable components.
