CONTROL SYSTEM ANALYSIS
1. The order of the system when there is one real pole in the transfer function.
2. It is a dimensionless quantity characterizing the rate at which an oscillation in the
system’s response decays due to effects such as viscous friction and electrical
resistance.
3. It is a line segment in signal flow graphs which joins two nodes. It has both gain and
direction.
4. It is the limit of the transient response as time “t” approaches infinity.
5. It means studying the output of a system which is represented as a function of time
when the system is subjected to an input which also represented as a function of time.
6. The gain along any path from the input to the output of the signal flow graph.
7. The frequency in rad/s that the system will oscillate at when there is no damping.
8. It is a point in signal flow graphs which represents either a variable or a signal
9. The values of the Laplace transform variable, s, which cause the transfer function to
become zero.
10. A response which present in the short period of time immediately after the input is
applied.
11. It is the total gain (product of individual gains) around any path in the signal flow graph.
12. It is a node, which has both incoming and outgoing branches.
13. It is the time it takes for the system’s response to decrease to 37% of the initial value for
a system’s free response.
14. The product of loop gains from non‐touching loops, taken two, three, four, or more at a
time.
15. The stage of the system’s response as time “t” approaches infinity.
II. Convert the following block diagrams into signal flow graphs(5 points) then find the forward
path gains(2 points each), loop gains(2 points each), non-touching loop gains(2 points each)
and the transfer function of the system(10 points).
