We can find the response of an open-loop system due to given input using any of the methods presented in this textbook. The response obtained is strictly determined by information about the system mathematical model, system input, and system initial conditions. In control theory and its applications, given system input and initial conditions, the goal is for the system output to have a desired ...

This paper introduces the development of flight control system for rotorcraft-based unmanned aerial vehicle(RUAV). In this research, the linear time-invariant model valid for hover is sought. The system response data is acquired in carefully devised experiment procedure and then a linear time-invariant system model is obtained using time-domain analysis method. The acquired model is used to des...

In retinal rods, Ca(2+) exerts negative feedback control on cGMP synthesis by guanylate cyclase (GC). This feedback loop was disrupted in mouse rods lacking guanylate cyclase activating proteins GCAP1 and GCAP2 (GCAPs(-/-)). Comparison of the behavior of wild-type and GCAPs(-/-) rods allowed us to investigate the role of the feedback loop in normal rod function. We have found that regulation of...

We present several novel identities and inequalities relating the mutual information and the directed information in systems with feedback. The internal blocks within such systems are restricted only to be causal mappings, but are allowed to be non-linear, stochastic and time varying. Moreover, the involved signals can be arbitrarily distributed. We bound the directed information between signal...

Oversampled pyramid decompositions have been successfully applied to scalable video coding. Quantization noise feedback at the encoder (\closed-loop coding") has several advantages compared to \open-loop coding" where noise feedback is not included. Finding optimal bit allocations for closed-loop coders is a complex task since the rate-distortion (R D) performance of one quantizer depends on th...

It is well understood that an open-loop Lyapunov stable nonaffine-in-control nonlinear system can be asymptotically stabilized through feedback. But stabilizing an open-loop unstable nonaffine system remains an open research question. This paper derives the necessary conditions required to render a general open-loop unstable nonlinear system passive through static feedback. It is shown that thi...

– The deÞning characteristic of a networked control system (NCS) is having a feedback loop that passes through a local area computer network. Our two-step design approach includes using standard control methodologies and choosing the network protocol and bandwidth in order to ensure important closed-loop properties are preserved when a computer network is inserted into the feedback loop. For su...

The characteristics of the decision feedback carrier recovery loop (DFL) for conventional QPSK signaling is evaluated experimentally through measurements of the carrierto-noise ratio of the regenerated carrier, lock range, acquisition waveforms and bit error rates. The results show that the DFL hardly exhibits inferiority to the ideal synchronization by designing the loop natural frequency adeq...

Criteria 2 and 3 of the EC 2000 have been extensively explained by professionals but engineers often find the literature very confusing because of inconsistent uses of terms and sometimes convoluted representations of the necessary actions. In this paper, the two Criteria are depicted as a dual-loop feedback control system and the terminologies interpreted in terms of process control and qualit...

An automatic system for detection of pronunciation errors by adult learners of English is embedded in a language–learning package. Four main features are: (1) a recognizer robust to non–native speech; (2) localization of phone– and word–level errors; (3) diagnosis of what sorts of phone–level errors took place; and (4) a lexical– stress detector. These tools together allow robust, consistent, a...
