This article provides the principles for the design and analysis of Feedback and Control Systems. The Control Systems are everywhere in the modern industrial technological world, in the laser positioning of a CD Reader,  in the very high precision positioning system of an hard disk head, and even our body has a large number of biological control systems. After introducing the basic concepts, we’ll see how easily evaluate the Open loop Transfer Function with PSPice.
