We　adopt　in　this　paper　the　newly　developed　composite　nonlinear　feedback　(CNF)　control　method　to　track　general　target　references　for　systems　with　input　saturation.　The　original　formulation　of　the　CNF　control　technique　is　only　applicable　to　set-point　tracking,　in　which　the　target　reference　is　set　to　be　a　constant.　In　this　paper,　a　reference　generator,　which　is　able　to　produce　more　general　reference　signals　such　as　sinusoidal　and　other　waves,　will　be　proposed　to　supplement　the　CNF　control　technique　to　yield　a　good　performance.　The　resulting　control　law　comprises　the　reference　generator　and　a　modified　CNF　control　law,　which　is　proven　to　be　capable　of　tracking　a　target　reference　with　fast　settling　time　and　minimal　overshoot.　Simulation　and　experimental　results　on　an　XY-table　show　that　the　proposed　technique　gives　a　very　satisfactory　performance.　©　2007　IEEE.
