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.
