Abstract
The basic Mitrovic's method is an effective technique in the analysis and design of linear feedback control systems. Mitrovic's method has been successfully applied to analyze feedback control systems with single nonlineariti.es. The objective of this work was to employ Mitrovic's method, which permits the variation of two coefficients of a characteristic equation, in the analysis of a control system with two gain-variable nonlinear feedback paths.
After predictions of system performance were made, the predictions were tested by simulating the feedback control system on a Donner Scientific Corporation analog computer, Model 3100. Computer results were analysed in order to support or reject prediction techniques.
