https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper%20transfer%20function | In control theory, a proper transfer function is a transfer function in which the degree of the numerator does not exceed the degree of the denominator. A strictly proper transfer function is a transfer function where the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator.
The difference between the de... |
