Cell mapping description for digital control system with quantization effect

[Abstract] Quantization problem in digital control system have attracted more and more attention in these years. Normally, a quantized variable is regarded as a perturbed copy of the unquantized variable in the research of quantization effect, but this model has shown many obvious disadvantages in control system analysis and design process. In this paper, we give a new model for quantization based ‘cell mapping’ concept. This cell model could clearly describe the global dynamics of quantized digital system. Then some important characteristics of control system like controllability are analyzed by this model. The finite precision control design method based on cell concept is also presented.
