Study Notes

Frequency Response Techniques and Applications in Control Systems

Normalizing and scaling frequency response plots to have the same low-frequency asymptote and break frequency aids in comparing different first- or second-order frequency response plots.
Normalization involves factoring out a quantity and forming a new frequency variable, while scaling involves dividing the magnitude by a quantity to yield 0 dB at the break frequency.
Normalization and scaling are used to compare the asymptotic approximation to the actual magnitude and phase plot for a given function.
Frequency response methods are used for analyzing and designing feedback control systems, providing an alternative to transient response techniques.
The magnitude frequency response of a system can be obtained by measuring the output amplitude at different frequencies, and the phase response can be obtained by measuring the phase angle difference at different frequencies.
The frequency response of a system can be represented as a polar plot (Nyquist diagram) or as separate magnitude and phase diagrams (Bode plots).
Bode plots have an advantage over the Nyquist diagram as they can easily be drawn using asymptotic approximations to the actual curve.
The Nyquist criterion and Nyquist diagram, or the Nyquist criterion and Bode plots, can be used to determine a system’s stability.
Frequency response methods provide stability information, transient response information, and tools for analyzing or designing transient response, such as gain margin and phase margin.
Graphical aids such as M and N circles and the Nichols chart can be used to obtain the closed-loop frequency response from the open-loop frequency response for transient response analysis and design.
With the availability of computers and software like MATLAB, frequency response plots can be obtained without relying on graphical techniques.
Obtaining transfer functions using frequency response yields more accuracy than transient response testing and can be done experimentally.
