Q

If a feedback is ideally damped, what happens to the signal?

A

It overshoots once and comes back

17
Q

What is a LVDT?

A

Linear variable differential transducer

- a positional sensor (linear)

18
Q

What is a RVDT?

A

A rotary variable differential transducer.

Rotary position sensor, used in Aircraft throttle levers

19
Q

What is a capacitance transmitter?

A

A variable capacitor with a rotor and stator.

Capacitance is high when the rotor and stator are fully intermeshed.

20
Q

What is a rate transducer?

A

A tachometer.

It is a rate generator that develops an output voltage proportional to its RPM
