What does a ramp input mean?

Ramp input represents a constant change in the input to a control system. For example, velocity with constant acceleration in a motion control system is a ramp input.

What is a step input and ramp input?

With the step input we have the input suddenly being switched to a constant value at some particular time. With the impulse input we have the input existing for just a very brief time before dropping back to zero. With the ramp input, we have the input starting at some time and then increasing at a constant rate.

What does a ramp function do?

The ramp function is a unary real function, whose graph is shaped like a ramp. It can be expressed by numerous definitions, for example "0 for negative inputs, output equals input for non-negative inputs".

What is ramp in signal?

Ramp signals are traffic signals installed on freeway on-ramps to control the frequency at which vehicles enter the flow of traffic on the freeway. As seen in the diagram below, vehicles traveling from an adjacent arterial onto the ramp form a queue behind the stop line.
