Many modifications have been proposed to improve the Smith predictor structure used to control plant with time-delay. Some of them have been proposed to enhance the robustness of Smith predictor based controllers. They are often based on the use of deliberately mismatched model of the plant and then the IMC method can be used to tune the controller. This paper compares the performance of two Smith predictor based controllers including a mismatched model to the performance provided by a fractional order Crone controller which is well known for managing well the robustness and performance tradeoff. It is shown that even if it can simplify the design of (robust) controller, the use of an improved Smith predictor is not necessary to obtain good performance.

We derive a delay-dependent H∞ performance criterion with a decoupled structure for systems with neutral time delay. We then extend it to an H∞ controller synthesis for systems with polytopic uncertainty. All conditions are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). In some previous descriptor system methods, the products of the controller and Lyapunov matrices are completely separated for the performance analysis, but not for controller synthesis - the method developed in the current paper eliminates this weakness. We present a numerical example to illustrate the effectiveness of the solution.
