Closed-Loop System Subjected to a Disturbance.

• When two inputs (the reference input and disturbance) are present in a linear
time-invariant system, each input can be treated independently of the other.

Closed-Loop System Subjected to a Disturbance

• In examining the effect of the disturbance D(s), we may assume that the
reference input is zero.

• On the other hand, in considering the response to the reference input

R(s), we may assume that the disturbance is zero.

Closed-Loop System Subjected to a Disturbance

• The response to the simultaneous application of the reference input and
disturbance can be obtained by adding the two individual responses.

Block Diagram Simplification (Example 5)

Derive C1(s)/R1(s), C1(s)/R2(s), C2(s)/R1(s), and C2(s)/R2(s). (In deriving outputs for R1(s), assume that
R2(s) is zero, and vice versa.)
