Founded in 1807, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. has been a valued source of knowledge and understanding
for more than 200 years, helping people around the world meet their needs and fulfill their
aspirations. Our company is built on a foundation of principles that include responsibility to the
communities we serve and where we live and work. In 2008, we launched a Corporate Citizenship
Initiative, a global effort to address the environmental, social, economic, and ethical challenges we
face in our business. Among the issues we are addressing are carbon impact, paper specifications and
procurement, ethical conduct within our business and among our vendors, and community and
charitable support. For more information, please visit our website: www.wiley.com/go/citizenship.

Introduction
ANSWERS TO REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. Guided missiles, automatic gain control in radio receivers, satellite tracking antenna
2. Yes - power gain, remote control, parameter conversion; No - Expense, complexity
3. Motor, low pass filter, inertia supported between two bearings
4. Closed-loop systems compensate for disturbances by measuring the response, comparing it to
the input response (the desired output), and then correcting the output response.
5. Under the condition that the feedback element is other than unity
6. Actuating signal
7. Multiple subsystems can time share the controller. Any adjustments to the controller can be
implemented with simply software changes.
8. Stability, transient response, and steady-state error
9. Steady-state, transient
10. It follows a growing transient response until the steady-state response is no longer visible. The
system will either destroy itself, reach an equilibrium state because of saturation in driving
amplifiers, or hit limit stops.
11. Natural response
12. Determine the transient response performance of the system.
13. Determine system parameters to meet the transient response specifications for the system.
14. True
15. Transfer function, state-space, differential equations
16. Transfer function - the Laplace transform of the differential equation
State-space - representation of an nth order differential equation as n simultaneous first-order
differential equations
Differential equation - Modeling a system with its differential equation
