Abstract

A disturbance-cancelling feedback transfer function is proposed in a preliminary study for linear systems with constant coefficients. This idea is then experimentally demonstrated. In the main theory for more general systems, expressions are obtained for a computer which generates a cancelling input from measurements of the disturbances. The cases where there are fewer measurements than disturbances and also noisy measurements are treated. Three schemes and a basis for comparison are given. An example is calculated.
