An analog computer study of the transient behavior and stability characteristics of serial-type digital data systems

The most significant change that has taken place in the field of control in recent years has been the appearance of the digital component. The ability of the digital computer to handle and process data quickly and accurately has been the main reason for incorporating digital devices into modern high-performance control systems. The exceptional requirements demanded from today's control systems in the defense area have prompted the development of a large variety of digital components for use in closed loop control systems for defense applications.
