ON THE ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE LUMPED-DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS.

Abstract A technique is described which is basically a generalization of root locus methods used in the analysis and synthesis of lumped systems. To permit applicability to composite lumped-distributed systems, a generalization of the rules of construction in systems with a countably infinite number of poles and zeros is required. These rules are derived and their use is illustrated by several typical examples. Significant insight into the analysis and synthesis of composite lumped-distributed systems is obtained when use is made of the generalized root locus technique.
