Sumario:Recent developments in quantitative feedback theory (QFT) lead to feedforward design problems with both magnitude and phase constraints. In these cases, manual feedforward tuning becomes much more challenging and time consuming than the traditional prefilter shaping taking place on the Bode plot. This article presents a general procedure for the automatic synthesis of such elements. Feedforward bounds in the complex plane are expressed as constraints of a linear programming problem in which the Bode real-complex relation is implicitly considered, ensuring a stable rational solution. The methodology is successfully tested in a well-known benchmark problem.
