Analyze a Feedback System with the R-H Stability Criterion

Article Preview

Abstract:

From a practical point of view, a closed-loop feedback system that is unstable is of little value. Many control systems are subject to extraneous disturbance signals that cause the system to provide an inaccurate output. The Routh-Hurwitz criterion ascertains the absolute stability of a system by determining whether any of the roots of the characteristic equation lie in the right half of the s-plane. This study concludes with a stability analysis based on the Routh-Hurwitz method.
