The type of power amplifier which exhibits crossover distortion in its output is

A linear time-invariant system initially at rest, when subjected to a unit-step input, gives a response $$y\left( t \right) = t{e^{ - t}},\,\,t > 0.$$ The transfer function of the system is:

Feedback control systems are

Open-loop transfer function of a unity - feedback system is $$$G\left( s \right) = {G_1}\left( s \right).{e^{ - s{\tau _D}}} = {{{e^{ - s{\tau _D}}}} \over {s\left( {s + 1} \right)\left( {s + 2} \right)}}$$$
Given : $$\,\left| {{G_1}\left( {j\omega } \right)} \right| \approx 1$$ when $$\omega = 0.446$$

(a) Determine the phase margin when $${\tau _D} = 0$$
(b) Comment in one sentence on the effect of dead time on the stability of the system.
(c) Determine the maximum value of dead time $${\tau _D}$$ for the closed-loop system to be stable.
