The second derivative input signals modify which of the following ?

Correct answer: D. The time constant and suppress the oscillations

  • A. The time constant of the system
  • B. Damping of the system
  • C. The gain of the system
  • D. The time constant and suppress the oscillations
  • E. None of the above

Explanation

Acceleration or second-derivative feedback changes the effective time constant and can improve damping, thereby suppressing oscillations. This is why it is used to improve transient behavior.
