Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis was to develop a method of successfully applying the root locus technique to a high gain-linear system with variable coefficients. The problem was solved by establishing rules for positioning the far out poles of such a system based on data obtained from the analysis of a high-gain system unsuccessfully designed for the X-15 aircraft. The new method was applied successfully to two different systems. The conclusion and result was that a highly insensitive highgain system capable of handling large variations in the static loop sensitivity can be successfully designed. Author
