Feedback Loop Stability Analysis

by Walter S. Friauf

Avoiding complicated mathematics and shunning dependence on computers, this book emphasizes minimum phase characteristics in order to optimize performance and to simplify analysis and design. New design curves for second- and third-order minimum phase systems are developed to give closed-loop stability characteristics, both time and frequency domain, as a function of open-loop frequency domain parameters, with an emphasis on simplicity. Finally, the methods are extended to accommodate transport lags and systems of any higher order. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
