The closed loop system is chosen to be of second order with
a bandwidth (Fbw ) of 500Hz, 10 times the frequency of the

To impose a system dynamic, the procedure followed is to
solve the following equation:
As can be seen from equation 16, the system we are dealing
with is a non-linear system. In addition, the coefficients of
