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. Transient response
12. True
13. Transfer function, state-space, differential equations
14. 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
