What is LPV control?

Linear parameter-varying control (LPV control) deals with the control of linear parameter-varying systems, a class of nonlinear systems which can be modelled as parametrized linear systems whose parameters change with their state .

What is linear parameter-varying (LPV)?

A new paradigm is the linear parameter-varying (LPV) techniques which synthesize of automatically scheduled multivariable controller. An important drawback of classical gain scheduling approach is that adequate performance and in some cases even stability is not guaranteed at operating conditions other than the design points.

What is an LPV needle?

You probably learned that LPV means “localizer performance with vertical guidance.” Logically, then, LP simply means “localizer performance.” The important point is the lateral guidance is angular, with needle sensitivity increasing as you get closer to the missed approach point (think triangle).

What is the difference between LPV and lplateral guidance?

Lateral guidance is equivalent to a localizer, and uses a ground-independent electronic glide path. Thus, the Decision Altitude, DA, can be as low as 200 feet. An LPV approach is an approach with vertical guidance, APV, to distinguish it from a precision approach, PA, or a non-precision approach, NPA.
