State-Space Control Systems
These lecture notes present the mathematical tools and techniques necessary for the analysis and representation of linear multi-variable dynamic systems (or MIMO: Multi-Input Multi-Output) in the state space.The first chapter introduces the fundamental concepts of state representation and its main properties. This approach generally involves the use of canonical representations and the solution of state equations. The second chapter is dedicated to the correction of linear multi-variable systems through state feedback, as well as techniques for pole or eigenvalue placement for its implementation.Implementing state feedback control often requires access to the components of the state vector, a condition that is not always met. In such cases, the use of an observer becomes essential to estimate the temporal evolution of unmeasured components. The concept of an observer is detailed in the third chapter.At the end of this document (Chapter four), we propose a series of examples of state-space system processing and analysis, to put into practice the various methods discussed throughout the first three chapters. The book closes with a set of additional exercises and typical problems.

This paper analyses wireless computer networks by comparing the performance of the IEEE 802.11 protocols currently on the market. To this end, a theoretical foundation was created, covering concepts from authors in the areas of computer networks and wireless networks. The method used for this study will be exploratory, where the information needed to analyse the data was collected through a bibliographical survey and a case study. It was concluded that protocols have evolved over the years, providing more capacity for wireless networks. It is believed that the results of this study can serve as a basis for domestic or organisational users when choosing to use a particular piece of wireless network equipment.
