Frequency Response for Control

System Analysis - GATE Study Material


in PDF
In these free GATE 2018 Notes, we study the Frequency Response for Control
System Analysis. In GATE EE and GATE EC, when studying Frequency
Response Analysis of Control Systems, we come across Frequency Domain
Specifications such as Resonant Frequency, Resonant Peak and
Bandwidth. This GATE Study Material will deal with these concepts.

Up till now, we were dealing with the Time Response of these systems. However, the
properties and parameters of a system can also be measured using Frequency
Response. The magnitude and phase relation between the sinusoidal input and
steady state output of the system is known as the Frequency Response of the System.

Using frequency response method is advantageous due to its ease of use and accuracy
of measurements. The frequency response is generally recommended for systems
having smaller time constants. For large time constant circuit, the frequency output
is very small and time required for computation increase excessively.

You can download GATE notes in PDF for reference and revision later. Also
useful for other exams like IES, DRDO, BSNL, BARC etc. Before you begin
however, you need to be familiar with some topics.

Analysis
Now, we consider a standard second order control system shown as below.

C(s) ω2n
=
R(s) s2 +2ξωn s+ω2n

Now, for frequency response, we replace s with jω.

Now, if we apply sinusoidal input to second order closed loop transfer function it
would be shown as below

Now, if input to an LTI system is sinusoidal then output is also sinusoidal but with
some change in magnitude and phase.

From the previous block diagram, we get

B = A|T(jω)| = AM (M = |T(jω)|)

ϕ2 = ϕ1 + ∠T(jω) = ϕ1 + ϕ (∠T(jω) = ϕ)

Now, we previously calculated

T(jω) =
1−u2 +j2ξu

M= , ϕ = − tan−1 ( )

For u = 0; M = 1, ϕ = 0

u = ∞; M = 0, ϕ = −180°

The frequency response of the system will be plotted in the two curves:

(i) Magnitude v/s normalized frequency (M).

(ii) Phase angle v/s normalized frequency (ϕ).

In the above plots, Mr = Resonant Peak, ur = Normalized resonant frequency,

ϕr=Resonant phase

The terms associated with frequency response are given as follows

Resonant Frequency (ωr)

from time response parameters.

Now, if the input to system is changed to sinusoidal, find the maximum value of
output with respect to frequency.

will look in to different plots with respect to frequency response and their use in
stability analysis.
