Discrete-Time Model Reference Adaptive Control for Nonminimum Phase Systems With Disturbances

This paper presents a new design method of discrete-time model reference adaptive control for nonminimum phase systems with disturbances. It is assumed that the disturbances are described by a polynomial function of time with known degree and unknown coefficients. The proposed scheme uses only input and output data and the existence of bounds for all signals is proved, which assures the output error convergence to zero. Finally, the results of computer simulation are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
