Abstract
A method is presented for the determination of limit cycles in feedback systems having one or more non-linear elements. The non-linearities are approximated using a quantized characteristic, that is, a parallel combination of relays, and a previously known result for the exact computation of limit cycles in relay systems, is used. Examples are given where it is seen that very accurate results can be obtained with relatively few quantization steps.Keywords
