In this article, we consider a feedback interconnection, which consists of a networked multi-agent system with its distributed controller and two sets of external input signals. Assuming that the agents are identical, and the dynamics of each agent and its local controller are represented by transfer functions, the well-posedness condition, internal stability and input-output stability of the feedback interconnection are investigated. A controller is designed by solving a Diophantine equation, and a gain for the network is selected using root-locus of a unity feedback system to achieve input-output stability. The developed results are demonstrated with a numerical example.
