Abstract
Abstract A variable structure adaptive controller is provided. It includes a basic circuit for the preparation of information and an adaptation circuit which is coupled to the basic circuit and provides for the adaptation of multiplication coefficients as a function of the derivation value between the values of an error signal and the differential of this error signal. The circuits provide for a very wide range of changes in parameters and for compensating the variations of these parameters. The basic circuit includes an input terminal with a multiplier-divider circuit coupled to the same, there being a circuit providing the function TP/ Tau P+1 and two output terminals one of which is connected directly and the other through the latter said circuit to the input terminal. A further output terminal is connected to the multiplier-divider circuit. The adaptation circuit includes two parallel circuits connected respectively to the two aforementioned output terminals and a dividing circuit connecting these two parallel circuits to the multiplying divider circuit.
