The sampling technology relies on computer technology, since it requires reliable, high-performance A/D converters along with sophisticated data interpretation techniques. While several sources of error are possible in the various isolators and current probes/amplifiers required, the sampling technique offers the inherent advantage of highly flexible offline data interpretation possibilities. Sampling measurement techniques can be made nonintrusive so that they do not disturb ongoing associated processes. The direct measurement techniques require sophisticated instrumentation that may not always be convenient or even possible to utilize in a field test. The associated measurement errors are often negligible; however, the inherent bandwidth limitation of the instruments are often a concern.","PeriodicalId":260036,"journal":{"name":"1993 (25th) Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123784648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A technique for obtaining an approximation of the characteristic equation for the FCEs is developed. Parametric loci of the FCE, similar to the root locus plot for a LTI system, are then developed for the LP system. The technique is exemplified by 2nd-order LP systems. The FCE loci are useful in the stability analysis and control design for LP systems.","PeriodicalId":260036,"journal":{"name":"1993 (25th) Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"238 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129460971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two methods are given for obtaining the nonlinear describing function for any given nonlinearity: the transform method and the sinusoidal describing function method. An example of an ideal soft limiter shows that two methods yield identical nonlinear describing functions. However, the sinusoidal describing function method is much more readily applied than the transform method.","PeriodicalId":260036,"journal":{"name":"1993 (25th) Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131564455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
