Abstract

This paper examines the behaviour of a single loop relay feedback system (RFS) in the presence of an external forcing sinusoid. It is well known that such a closed loop system sometimes undergo a forced oscillation (FO) phe nomenon while at other times, subharmornic oscillations (SO) may be observed. This paper examines the conditions under which each of these can occur.
