Abstract
A third-order switching servomechanism is investigated that operates in positive feedback for the first part of the transient response period and is switched into negative feedback for the last part. The optimum switching condition is determined for third-order systems with both a step position input and a step velocity input. The analysis is extended to higher-order systems. Experimental results of an analog computer study are presented.
