In this paper we intend to study the steady state performance of those systems in response to changed input reference, where an optimized transfer function based feed-forward compensating technique is proposed and applied to enhance their order of astatism without inserting additional integrators in the forward path of the closed loop system and therefore achieving improvement of the corresponding tracking error accuracy performance. The simulation results have shown a noticeable and important achievement in accuracy performance of the studied system when subjected to changing input referenceenReduced order state observerAccuracy performanceOrder of astatismFeed-forward compensationArticle
