H-infinity control strategy plays an essential role in modern robust theory due to its capability of rejecting various uncertainties, disturbances and noises. In this paper, a variational approach is used to formulate a general state space solution to multi-input multi-output (MIMO) H-infinity optimal control problem, without the limitation placed by orthogonality assumptions. The optimal H-infinity controller gain and observer gain matrices are then obtained by solving two Riccati equations via a recursive searching procedure. To achieve a prespecified performance, a loop shaping scheme is formulated in this research by adding three weighting functions to tune the sensitivity, complementary sensitivity and power transfer matrices to desire shapes. A H-infinity/LTR design procedure is also formulated in this paper. The open loop transfer function in and output feedback case is recovered to a chosen Target Feedback Loop by adjusting the H-infinity dynamic compensator. designed H-infinity/LTR methodology proposed in this paper allows a prechosen closed-loop performance via a loop-transfer- recovery (LTR) procedure so thattrade-off problems of compensator robustness and the achieved disturbancerejection can readily be solved. The design procedure discribed in this paper is used to design automatic steering and diving control system of a unmanned underwater vehicle. Using H-infinity/LTR methodology, the tracking ability, uncertainty tolerance andnoise attenuation can be achieved systematically.
