Which outcome occurs when an aircraft's fly-by-wire system experiences signal quantization limitations?

💡 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.
