  • Abstract
    The radius of the stability circle used in the circle criterion is given by worst-case output distortion components gain. Except for synchronous cases, these components are neglected in describing function analysis. The conservative stability estimates of the circle crlterion for a time-varying operator are perhaps due to the implicit possibility of synchronism. Explicit consideration of synchronous effects may lead to improved stability conditions.
