Antagonistic redundancy

Antagonistic redundancy is a theory of error corrected feedforward control. It has been first published in 2004 by Dietrich and Boehm.

In a transfer system using antagonistic redundancy an input signal is splitted and transfered in the form of two counteractive signals. These signals converge again at the output stage of the transfer channel to form a unified output signal.

Systems using antagonistic redundancy show some kind of noise-reduction without deteriorating the dynamics of information transfer.
