Equipment for Quantitative Assessment of Control System Performance Using Pseudo-Random Binary Signals

The reasons for requiring an accurate prediction of control system performance under actual operating conditions are discussed. It is shown that a measure of the integral square error in response to a stationary time series disturbance meets most requirements. The analytical approach to calculating...
