Test Signal Unit F (T) (T 0) F(S) General Comments Advantages Disadvantages

The document discusses different types of test signals that can be used to analyze system dynamics including impulse, step, ramp, and sinusoidal signals. It provides the general comments, advantages, and disadvantages of each signal. An impulse signal provides direct insight into system dynamics but is difficult to apply without saturation. A step signal is most severe but easy to apply and interpret, while a ramp signal is less severe than a step. A sinusoidal signal is useful for investigating steady state frequency domain response but may be time consuming and unrealistic to apply across a range of frequencies.
