In this paper a new method for robust decentralised control of large-scale systems using quantitative feedback theory (QFT) is suggested. For a given large-scale system an equivalent descriptor system is defined. Using this representation, closed-loop diagonal dominance sufficient conditions over the uncertainty space are derived. It is shown by appropriately choosing output disturbance rejection model in designing controller for each isolated subsystem, these conditions are achieved. Then a single-loop quantitative feedback design scheme is applied to solve the resulting series of individual loops to guarantee the satisfaction of predefined MIMO quantitative specification.
