Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If you have three systems combined in parallel, with transfer functions G1(s) = 2/(s+1), G2(s) = 3/(s+2), and G3(s) = 4/(s+3), find the total transfer function G_total(s).
💡 Hint: Add the individual functions together as per the parallel connection formula.
Given a system with two transfer functions, G1(s) and G2(s), in parallel with a feedback path that causes instability, discuss what changes you could make to stabilize the system.
💡 Hint: Consider how modifying the components can improve overall stability.
