A strictly proper transfer function is a transfer function where the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator.

Dynamic Responses of Linear Systems
Topic: Differential Equations
Poles and zeros of
Poles determine the natural (unforced) response of the system
Zeros determine the input signals that do not reach through to the output
If then has zeros in infinity → unstable
real part of the poles introduces damping…
further away from the origin the faster the decay/gain becomes (real line)
further away from the origin the oscillation frequency increases (imaginary line)
only poles needed to determine stability of the system

steady state


Final Value Theorem → Steady State Gain
Final value exists when it a system converges to a value for example an exponential system diverges and oscillating system without damping does not converge. Meaning only with poles in LHP and Origin
Let

If all poles ofare in the left-plane, then:

Consequence of extra zero/pole
Extra Zero
Ifthe effect of the zero is negligible
Ifnot large enough → overshoot increases
If(zero in RHP (right half plane)) initial response can become negative
and if zero in neighborhood of poles (LHP).
Initial negative response if zero in right half plane (RHP)Extra Pole
if pole is neighborhood of the other poles (LHP)
Stability
An LTI system is called stable if all poles of the transfer function are in the open left half plane, i.e. have negative real parts. (If on imaginery line (critically stable) not stable)
- Routh array → test stability of systems
- Number of sign changes → Number of poles in RHS → Stable: No Sign Changes
- If Routh first column same sign, positive → stable

System Type based on the amount of poles at the origin… Only based for the left hand side poles for stable systems.

Final Value Theorem and Steady State Error - YouTube
Role of a closed loop control system is to drive the error(difference between input and output) to zero.

feed forward gain is a way of determining a steady state error when plant and compensator of the system are known.

Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

- P used for “speed”
- I used for steady state response
- D used for damping


PID Action in Detail
P-action: increase
so
faster responseless damping PI-action: leads to zero steady state error to step input.
PD-action: leads to increased damping.
