This paper investigates the problem of global stabilization by output feedback for linear time-invariant systems. We give first a procedure to design a robust observer for the linear system. Then using this robust observer with the robust state feedback control law developed by Molander and Willems (1980, “Synthesis of State Feedback Control Laws With a Specified Gain and Phase Margin,” IEEE Trans. Autom. Control, 25(5), pp. 928–931), we construct an output feedback which yields a closed loop system with robustness characteristics. That is, we establish a separation principle. Finally, we give sufficient conditions to establish a robust output feedback for linear polytopic systems.
