  We present a procedure to simultaneously design the output feedback law and
the event-triggering condition to stabilize linear systems. The closed-loop
system is shown to satisfy a global asymptotic stability property and the
existence of a strictly positive minimum amount of time between two
transmissions is guaranteed. The event-triggered controller is obtained by
solving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). We then exploit the flexibility of
the method to maximize the guaranteed minimum amount of time between two
transmissions. Finally, we provide a (heuristic) method to reduce the amount of
transmissions, which is supported by numerical simulations.
