Abstract:
Linear feedforward regulators can be designed by solving a spectral factorization and a linear polynomial equation. A quadratic criterion with penalty on a filtered control signal is minimized. This constitutes a simple systematic way to design feedforward regulators for non-minimum phase systems.

The approach is discussed for disturbances modelled by systems with poles on the stability limit. Regulators can be designed for shape-deterministic disturbances, such as random step and ramp sequences, in the same way as for stochastic disturbances.
