THE STATISTICAL PROPERTIES OF SIGNALS AND MEASUREMENTS OF SIMPLE MANUAL CONTROL SYSTEMS,
Abstract
The distribution functions of the amplitudes of the signals flowing in a simple compensatory manual control system and of the transfer func tions and power spectra used to describe the characteristics of the system were measured when the system was excited by a variety of different gaussian input signals. For very low and very high bandwidth signals there is some indication that the error and remnant (the part of system response notrly correlated with the input) signals may not be normal. The open-loop transfer function for the human operator ex pressed in terms of log magnitude and phase was found to be approximately normal. The error and remnant power spectra were found to be distri buted approximately as X2. (Author)
