Abstract
An output vector produced by a plant in response to an input vector is filtered by a plurality of bandpass filters, each filter having a different pass band. A filtered output vector from each filter is provided as input to a separate adaptive feedback controller, and feedback vectors produced by the separate controllers are summed to provide the input vector to the plant. Each adaptive feedback controller continuously identifies an open-loop transfer function of the plant characterizing a particular frequency band of plant operation, and continuously adjusts its own open-loop transfer function so that the poles of the closed-loop transfer function of the plant for that particular frequency mode of operation are assigned to constant stable values despite changes in the open-loop transfer function of the plant.
