Abstract

This thesis is a continuation of the ICECAP-PC research project conducted under Prof. Gary B. Lamont at the Air Force Institute of Technology. It is an ongoing development of a public domain Computer Aided Design package for Control Engineering and Digital Signal Processing students, faculty and practitioners with a special emphasis on education. This investigation begins with the software maintenance task of restructuring, debugging, and testing the functional version of ICECAP-PC 9.0. The continuous, traditional portions are then ported to a new object-oriented program structure which is the primary focus of this effort. New interactive graphics capabilities are then added as well as new procedures for the time and frequency response plots. All basic math algorithms are re-written to be more accurate within a contemporary personal computer environment. Finally, using a program extension concept called a toolbox, a Multiple-Input-Single-Output (MISO) Quantitative Feedback Theory (OFT) toolbox is created. This toolbox allows manual, interactive and automatic QFT design for continuous, linear, time invariant MISO control system problems.
