Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What does the term 'gain margin' refer to in control systems?
  • Step 1: Understand that 'gain' refers to how much a system amplifies a signal.
  • Step 2: Know that 'gain margin' is a measure of how much more gain can be added to a system.
  • Step 3: Realize that if you increase the gain too much, the system can become unstable.
  • Step 4: Gain margin tells us the maximum increase in gain before instability occurs.
