ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for damping operator induced oscillations of a controlled system responding to an operator controlled signal (DEP) utilizing a lag-lead filter (14) for frequency and amplitude estimation of the control input, and a rectification and smoothing filter (16) for producing a signal proportional to the absolute value of the frequency and amplitude estimate for use in suppression of the control system output signal (DEC). In one embodiment, this is accomplished by computing a correction signal in a correction generating section (18). In a second embodiment, a second rectification and smoothing filter (21) produces a signal proportional to the absolute value of the controlled input signal. A ratio of the outputs of the first and second rectification and smoothing filters is then used in a generator (24) to generate a gain factor k.sub.q for the control system to reduce the gain of the output signal of the control system, thereby to provide a damped control output signal without rate limiting the controlled element.
