Dynamic output feedback control strategy for a satellite orbital model within negative-imaginary systems theory framework

This article presents the synthesis of a dynamic output feedback controller for a satellite orbital system confronted with uncertainties. The investigated method transforms the closed-loop system, synthesized by the controller, into an \(\alpha \) $\alpha$ -strictly negative-imaginary system. It utilizes the DC-loop gain condition associated with negative-imaginary systems theory to demonstrate robust stability of the satellite orbital system in the presence of uncertainties. Furthermore, the synthesized negative-imaginary closed-loop system exhibits notable time-domain performance. The numerical simulation outcomes presented in this article validate the investigated synthesis method.
