4. ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATION INSTRUMENTATION
CLASSIFICATION OF SYSTEMS
• Linear and Non-linear
– Linear - Having properties of Additivity and
scalability
• Time invariant and time varying
– Time invariant – system parameters do not change
with time.
• Networks with RLC components
– Time varying – system parameters vary with time
• Space shuttle losing mass due to fuel
5. ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATION INSTRUMENTATION
CLASSIFICATION OF SYSTEMS
• Controls are classified with respect to
– technique involved to perform control (i.e. human/machines):
manual/automatic control
– Time dependence of output variable (i.e. constant/changing):
regulator/servo,
(also known as regulating/tracking control)
– fundamental structure of the control (i.e. the information used
for computing the control):
Open-loop/feedback control,
(also known as open-loop/closed-loop control)

Partial Fraction Expansion
Three cases:
1. Roots of the denominator of F(s) are real
number and distinct
2. Roots of the denominator of F(s) are real
number and repeated
3. Roots of the denominator of F(s) are complex or
imaginary

20. ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATION INSTRUMENTATION
Mechanical system modelling
• Translational
• Rotational
Example
Automobile suspension system
Along the road
1. The vertical displacements at the tires act as the motion
excitation to the automobile suspension system
2. Motion consists of a translational motion of the center of
mass
3. Rotational motion about the center of mass
