This paper considers the problem of finite-time event-triggered extended dissipative control for a class of discrete time switched linear systems. The proposed system is modeled as a discrete time switched linear system with an event-triggered control scheme. Under the event-triggered transmission schemes, we give some sufficient conditions to guarantee the finite-time extended dissipative performance of the closed-loop switched system in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Furthermore, the state feedback controller gains are proposed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods
