10 Control Systems

Linear, Time-Invariant Control Systems

In the simplest form, a system consists of an input, an output, and a transfer function which relates the input to the output. For example, consider a system as shown in Figure 10-1.

The input is X and the output is Y and the input and the output are related by Y = X2. This is a very simple example. In practice, physical systems are much more complicated. Modeling of such physical systems is a very tricky job and can be carried out in many ways. A brute force method is to apply various input signals to the system and ...
