For a modern aerodynamically unstable fighter, like the JAS 39 Gripen, the flight control system typically provides 45/spl deg/ phase margin. Therefore rate limiting of control surfaces, which may cause large phase shifts, is an important issue. Software rate limiters are placed on the control servo commands in order to prevent the hydraulic servos from rate limiting. When a rate limiter is saturated, the phase shift drastically reduces the stability margins of the closed loop and increases the risk for pilot-induced oscillation (PIO). This paper describes a novel method for compensating the phase shift of a rate limiter. In contrast to earlier phase compensation methods, this method uses feedback instead of logic or feedforward. Open loop and closed loop properties of the method are discussed. The method gives a drastic improvement on stability margins and reduces PIO tendencies.
