an output of H(s)Y(s).
Thus the feedback signal is
H(s)Y(s). The error is the
difference between the system input signal X(s) and
the feedback signal and is thus:
|
|
X s ( ) |
� |
H s Y s ( ) ( ) |
and so:
For a system with positive feedback ( Figure 18.102 ), the feedback
signal is H(s)Y(s) and thus the
input to the G(s) system is X(s)
�H(s)Y(s). Hence:

X s ( ) |

Example 18.18
Determine the overall transfer function for a control system ( Figure
18.103 ) which has a negative feedback loop with a transfer function 4
and a forward path transfer function of 2 / ( s�
2).
Solution
The overall transfer function of the system is:
