The authors give transfer matrices for some models described by partial differential equations. From these transfer matrices the poles and zeros are easily derived. The effect of a small time delay in the feedback loop is considered, and it is shown that if the feedthrough in the loop is too strong, this will give instability. The transfer matrices have the advantage that the amount of feedthrough is easily checked. >
