    Study Notes

    Frequency Response of Linear Systems

    • Linearity: A system is linear if it satisfies the principles of superposition and homogeneity.
    • Frequency Response: Represents how a linear time-invariant (LTI) system responds to sinusoidal inputs of varying frequencies.
      • For a continuous-time system, the frequency response is represented by the transfer function H(s) where s = jω (j is the imaginary unit and ω is angular frequency).
      • The impulse response h(t) is related to the frequency response H(jω) through the Fourier transform.
    • Magnitude Response: Describes how the system modifies the amplitude (magnitude) of each frequency component in the input signal. Represented as |H(jω)|.
    • Phase Response: Describes the phase shift introduced by the system for each frequency component. Represented as ∠H(jω).
    • Bode Plots: A graphical representation of the frequency response. Magnitude and phase responses are plotted against frequency (logarithmic scale) for visualization.
      • Bode Plot Steps:
        • Choose appropriate parameters: (K, τ) to create a range of Bode plot examples.
        • Use signal.bode function from scipy to automatically calculate the Bode magnitude and phase responses for the specific parameters.
    • Important System Properties:
      • Bandwidth: The range of frequencies a system can process effectively.
      • Resonance: The frequency at which the system's response to a sinusoidal input is amplified due to its natural frequency characteristics.
      • Stability: A stable system has a frequency response where all poles of H(s) have negative real parts.

    Applications and Practical Uses

    • Filter Design: Frequency response analysis helps design filters (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, etc.) to achieve desired frequency characteristics.
    • Signal Processing: Understanding frequency response is crucial in audio processing, telecommunications, control systems, and more.

    Polar Plots for System Analysis

    • Polar plots visualize the frequency response, especially useful when phase response matters.
    • Types of Systems Represented in Polar Plots:
      • Minimum-Phase System: Magnitude and phase are causal and stable. In a polar plot:
        • Magnitude decreases gradually with increasing frequency, phase shift occurs concurrently.
        • Example: Minimum-phase low-pass filter.
      • Non-Minimum Phase System: Phase responses include zeros with positive real parts or poles with negative real parts.
        • Phase response has peaks and dips, indicating phase lead or lag.
        • Magnitude response might have ripples.
        • Example: Systems with zeros in the right half-plane or poles in the left half-plane.
      • All-Pass System: Constant magnitude response (equal to 1) for all frequencies, but phase response varies.
        • In a polar plot:
          • Magnitude is constant (a circle of radius 1).
          • Phase changes linearly with frequency.
        • Example: A simple all-pass filter (first-order).
      • Linear Phase System: Phase response is linearly proportional to frequency: ∠H(jω) = ω ⋅ θ (θ is a constant).
        • In a polar plot:
          • Phase response increases linearly with frequency.
          • Magnitude response varies depending on the system.
        • Example: Certain types of FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters.
      • Unstable System: Poles with positive real parts, leading to unbounded responses.
        • In a polar plot:
          • Magnitude may grow indefinitely as frequency increases.
          • Phase response shows unstable behavior (oscillations).
        • Example: An unstable filter design.
      • Bandpass and Bandstop Systems: Specific frequency ranges where magnitude response is significant or zero, respectively.
        • In polar plots:
          • Bandpass systems show peaks in magnitude at specific frequencies.
          • Bandstop systems show dips (zeros) in magnitude at specific frequencies.
        • Example: A bandpass filter will have a peak in magnitude at the center frequency of its passband.
