PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR LINEAR CONSTANT-COEFFICIENT SYSTEMS WITH DETERMINISTIC INPUTS

Abstract

Performance measures and associated criteria for linear constant coefficient systems forced by deterministic inputs are investigated, with particular reference to flight control systems. It is shown that the application of performance measures is facilitated by substituting for the actual flight control system an equivalent loworder linearized system having similar dynamic characteristics. A critical survey of current performance measures is given, and new methods for the analytic evaluation of some indicial error measures are presented.
