Envelope methods - the Popov and circle criteria for graphical analysis of a single feedback loop containing a nonlinear element
This chapter is concerned with stability analysis of the loop. The two methods to be described enclose the nonlinearity in a linear envelope. The linear envelope rather than the particular nonlinearity is then used in the subsequent analysis. Such an approach naturally leads to sufficient but not necessary stability conditions.
