← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when an aircraft's fly-by-wire system experiences signal quantization limitations?
A)Control surface position dithering increases✓
B)Hydraulic actuator wear reduces noticeably
C)Sensor data resolution improves sharply
D)Flight control computer processing decreases
💡 Explanation
Increased control surface position dithering results because signal quantization reduces position resolution, driving rapid adjustments via Pulse Width Modulation. This instability is created by a high-frequency limit cycle; therefore, it increases actuator wear compared to smaller oscillations rather than improved component lifetimes.
