Abstract
In this note, a new standard model reference control (NSMRC) to arbitrarily fast linear single-input single-output time-varying plants with relative degree one is presented. A modified version of standard model reference control (SMRC) structure is developed which incorporates the concept of variable structure design and null adaptation process for fast time-varying plants. It is shown that the output error will converge to zero in finite time without any restriction on the time-varying rate of the plant parameters while all signals inside the closed-loop system remain uniformly bounded so long as some design parameters are chosen properly (large). Superior transient responses as well as convergence properties can be observed from the simulation results provided. © 1992.
