Repetitive Control Experiments for a CD Player

Richard C.H. Lee and M.C. Smith

Abstract

This paper describes some controller designs and experiments for repetitive control of the radial tracking loop of a Philips CD player. An eccentric test disc was used which generated a periodic disturbance signal. Asymptotic rejection of several harmonics was achieved along with satisfactory robustness and transient performance. The controllers were designed using an $H_{\infty}$ approach.
