Asymptotic Gain Model - Connection With Classical Feedback Theory

Connection With Classical Feedback Theory

Classical feedback theory neglects feedforward (G0). If feedforward is dropped, the gain from the asymptotic gain model becomes

while in classical feedback theory, in terms of the open loop gain A, the gain with feedback (closed loop gain) is:

Comparison of the two expressions indicates the feedback factor βFB is:

while the open-loop gain is:

If the accuracy is adequate (usually it is), these formulas suggest an alternative evaluation of T: evaluate the open-loop gain and G∞ and use these expressions to find T. Often these two evaluations are easier than evaluation of T directly.

Famous quotes containing the words connection with, connection, classical and/or theory:

    “Morality becomes hypocrisy if it means accepting mothers’ suffering or dying in connection with unwanted pregnancies and illegal abortions and unwanted children.”
    —Gro Harlem Brundtland (b. 1939)

    “Much is made of the accelerating brutality of young people’s crimes, but rarely does our concern for dangerous children translate into concern for children in danger. We fail to make the connection between the use of force on children themselves, and violent antisocial behavior, or the connection between watching father batter mother and the child deducing a link between violence and masculinity.”
    —Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)

    “Several classical sayings that one likes to repeat had quite a different meaning from the ones later times attributed to them.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “A theory of the middle class: that it is not to be determined by its financial situation but rather by its relation to government. That is, one could shade down from an actual ruling or governing class to a class hopelessly out of relation to government, thinking of gov’t as beyond its control, of itself as wholly controlled by gov’t. Somewhere in between and in gradations is the group that has the sense that gov’t exists for it, and shapes its consciousness accordingly.”
    —Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
