Simultaneous Optimization of Damping and Tracking Controller Parameters Via Selective Pole Placement for Enhanced Positioning Bandwidth of Nanopositioners

Positive velocity and position feedback (PVPF) is a widely used control scheme in lightly damped resonant systems with collocated sensor actuator pairs. The popularity of PVPF is due to the ability to achieve a chosen damping ratio by repositioning the poles of the system. The addition of a tracking controller, to reduce the effects of inherent nonlinearities, causes the poles to deviate from the intended location and can be a detriment to the...
