Abstract

Intermittent control is a feedback control design method that combines both continuous-time and discrete-time domains. A recent result shows that this form of intermittent control can be rewritten as a sampled-data feedback system with a particular vector generalized hold. This paper builds on this result to give, for the first time, a frequency-domain analysis of the closed-loop system containing an intermittent controller. This analysis is illustrated using two examples. The first example is related to the human balance control system and is thus physiologically relevant. The second example gives a theoretical explanation of the phenomenon of self-induced oscillations in intermittent control systems.
