Fundamental limitations for error tracking/regulation are obtained for the ripple-free robust servomechanism problem (RFRSP) for a sampled system. In studying this problem, the robust servomechanism problem is considered for a multi-input/multi-output sampled LTI system, using a cheap control problem formulation. Explicit expressions are obtained for the limiting performance costs associated with error tracking/regulation in the RSP, and application of these results is then made to obtain explicit expressions for the limiting performance costs associated with error tracking/regulation in the RFRSP. These limitations can be characterized completely by the number and location of the non-minimum phase transmission zeros.
