The paper presents JITTERBUG, a MATLAB-based toolbox for real-time control performance analysis. The control system is described using a number of connected continuous-time and discrete-time linear systems driven by white noise. The control performance is measured by a continuous-time quadratic cost function. A stochastic timing model is used to describe when the different discrete-time systems are updated during the control period. Building different models, the tool makes it easy to investigate how the control performance is affected by e.g. delay, jitter, lost samples, aborted computations, and jitter compensation. Aperiodic and multi-rate controllers may also be studied. The tool is also capable of computing the spectral densities of the different signals in the system.
Jitterbug REF is a MATLAB-based toolbox that allows the evaluation of a quadratic cost function for a control system with aperiodic sampling, skips, etc.
