Transient response is of significant interest at RF for
TDMA systems and radar, for example.
I'm just wondering about something someone said earlier in the thread.
|s the idea of pulsing an analogue RF circuit to deliberately try to
induce it to oscillate and thereby show up any inhrerent instability
in the system?
That would make a certain amount of sense. OTOH, there's something I
dimly recall about somone-or-other's factor. You carry out a
calculation using a relatively simple formula and if the answer comes
out at less than one, the system will be stable; if the answer's 1 or
more, then it's liable to oscillate. Anyone remember this or am I
dreaming it?
It's been a long while and one's memory can play tricks.
