In certain specialized applications, the term frequency response may be used with more restrictive meanings. However, all such uses can be related back to the fundamental definition. The frequency response characteristics of a system can be found directly from its transfer function. A single-input/single-output linear time-invariant system is shown in Fig. 11.1. For dynamic linear systems with no time delay, the transfer function H(s) is in the form of a ratio of polynomials in the complex frequency s, where K is a frequency-independent constant. For a system in the sinusoidal steady state, s is replaced by the sinusoidal frequency jw (j = ) and the system function becomes H(jw) is a complex quantity. Its magnitude, *H(jw)*, and its argument or phase angle, argH(jw), relate, respectively, the amplitudes and phase angles of sinusoidal steady-state input and output signals. Using the terminology of Fig. 11.1, if the input and output signals are x(t) = X cos (wt + Qx) y(t) = Y cos (wt + Qy) then the output’s amplitude Y and phase angle Qy are related to those of the input by the two equations Y = *H(jw)*X Qy = argH(jw) + Qx H s K N s D s ( ) ( ) ( ) = -1 H j K N j D j H j ej H j ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) w w w w w = = * * arg Paul Neudorfer Seattle University

© 2000 by CRC Press LLC The phrase frequency response characteristics usually implies a complete description of a system’s sinusoidal steady-state behavior as a function of frequency. Because H(jw) is complex and, therefore, two dimensional in nature, frequency response characteristics cannot be graphically displayed as a single curve plotted with respect to frequency. Instead, the magnitude and argument of H(jw) can be separately plotted as functions of frequency. Often, only the magnitude curve is presented as a concise way of characterizing the system’s behavior, but this must be viewed as an incomplete description. The most common form for such plots is the Bode diagram (developed by H.W. Bode of Bell Laboratories), which uses a logarithmic scale for frequency.

Because it is understood that Bode diagrams are limited to sinusoidal steady state frequency response analysis, one can work directly from the transfer function H(s) rather than resorting to the formalism of making the substitution s= jo Bode frequency response curves(gain and phase) for H(s) are generated from the individual contributions of the four terms K, st,+ 1, 1/s, and 1/(st, 1).As described in the following paragraph, the frequency response effects of these individual terms are easily drawn. To obtain the overall frequency response curves for the transfer function, the curves for the individual terms are added together. The terms used as the basis for drawing Bode diagrams are found from factoring N(s)and D(s), the and denominator polynomials of the transfer function. The factorization results in four standard forms.These are(1)a constant K, (2)a simple s term corresponding to either a zero( if in the numerator)or a pole(if in the denominator)at the origin;(3)a term such as(st 1)corresponding to a real valued (nonzero) pole or zero; and(4)a quadratic term with a possible standard form of [(s/o)2+(25/@ )s 1] corresponding to a pair of complex conjugate poles or zeros. The Bode magnitude and phase curves for these possibilities are isplayed in Figs. 11.3-11.5. Note that both decibel magnitude and phase are plotted semilogarithmically. The frequency axis is logarithmically scaled so that every tenfold, or decade, change in frequency occurs over an equal distance. The magnitude axis is given in decibels. Customarily, this axis is marked in 20-dB increments Positive decibel magnitudes correspond to amplifications between input and output that are greater than one (output amplitude larger than input). Negative decibel gains correspond to attenuation between input and utput Figure 11.3 shows three separate magnitude functions. Curve I is trivial; the Bode magnitude of a constant is simply the decibel-scaled constant 20 logo K, shown for an arbitrary value of K= 5(20 logo 5= 13.98) Phase is not shown.

Because it is understood that Bode diagrams are limited to sinusoidal steadystate frequency response analysis, one can work directly from the transfer function H(s) rather than resorting to the formalism of making the substitution s = jw. Bode frequency response curves (gain and phase) for H(s) are generated from the individual contributions of the four terms K¢, stz + 1, 1/s, and 1/(stp + 1).As described in the following paragraph, the frequency response effects of these individual terms are easily drawn. To obtain the overall frequency response curves for the transfer function, the curves for the individual terms are added together. The terms used as the basis for drawing Bode diagrams are found from factoring N(s) and D(s), the numerator and denominator polynomials of the transfer function. The factorization results in four standard forms. These are (1) a constant K; (2) a simple s term corresponding to either a zero (if in the numerator) or a pole (if in the denominator) at the origin; (3) a term such as (st + 1) corresponding to a real valued (nonzero) pole or zero; and (4) a quadratic term with a possible standard form of [(s/wn)2 + (2z/wn)s + 1] corresponding to a pair of complex conjugate poles or zeros. The Bode magnitude and phase curves for these possibilities are displayed in Figs. 11.3–11.5. Note that both decibel magnitude and phase are plotted semilogarithmically. The frequency axis is logarithmically scaled so that every tenfold, or decade, change in frequency occurs over an equal distance. The magnitude axis is given in decibels. Customarily, this axis is marked in 20-dB increments. Positive decibel magnitudes correspond to amplifications between input and output that are greater than one (output amplitude larger than input). Negative decibel gains correspond to attenuation between input and output. Figure 11.3 shows three separate magnitude functions. Curve 1 is trivial; the Bode magnitude of a constant K is simply the decibel-scaled constant 20 log10 K, shown for an arbitrary value of K = 5 (20 log10 5 = 13.98). Phase is not shown. However, a constant of K > 0 has a phase contribution of 0° for all frequencies. For K < 0, the contribution would be ±180° (Recall that –cos q = cos (q ± 180°). Curve 2 shows the magnitude frequency response curve for a pole at the origin (1/s). It is a straight line with a slope of –20 dB/decade. The line passes through 0 dB at w = 0 rad/s. The phase contribution of a simple pole at the origin is a constant –90°, independent of frequency. The effect of a zero at the origin (s) is shown in Curve 3. It is again a straight line that passes through 0 dB at w = 0 rad/s; however, the slope is +20 dB/decade. The phase contribution of a simple zero at s = 0 is +90°, independent of frequency.

This is true for both magnitude and phase curves. Figure 11.4 shows the magnitude and phase curves for a zero term of the form(s/o+ 1)and a pole term of the form 1/(s/@.+ 1). Exact plots of the magnitude and phase curves are shown as dashed lines Straight line approximations to these curves are shown as solid lines. Note that the straight line approximations are so good that they obscure the exact curves at most frequencies For th n, some of the curves in this and been displaced slightly to enhance clarity. The greatest error between the exact and approximate magnitude curves is +3 dB. The approximation for phase is always within 7 of the exact curve and usually much closer. The approximations for magnitude consist of two straight lines. The points of intersection between these two lines(=@, for the zero term and a=O, for the pole)are breakpoints of the curves Breakpoints of Bode gain curves always correspond to locations of poles or zeros in the transfer function. In Bode analysis complex conjugate poles or zeros are always treated as pairs in the corresponding quadratic form [(s/o)2+(25/on)s+ 1]. For quadratic terms in stable, minimum phase systems, the damping ratio s reek letter zeta) is within the range 0< 5<1. Quadratic terms cannot always be adequately represented by traight line approximations. This is especially true for lightly damped systems(small 5). The traditional approach was to draw a preliminary representation of the contribution. This consists of a straight line of o dB om dc up to the breakpoint at o, followed by a straight line of slope #40 dB/decade beyond the breakpoint, depending on whether the plot refers to a pair of poles or a pair of zeros. Then, referring to a family of curves as shown in Fig. 11.5, the preliminary representation was improved based on the value of s. The phase contribution of the quadratic term was similarly constructed. Note that Fig. 11.5 presents frequency response contributions for a quadratic pair of poles. For zeros in the corresponding locations, both the magnitude and hase curves would be negated. Digital computer applications programs render this procedure unnecessary for purposes of constructing frequency response curves. Knowledge of the technique is still valuable, however, in the qualitative and quantitative interpretation of frequency response curves. Localized peaking in the gain curve is a reflection of the existence of resonance in a system. The height of such a peak(and the corresponding ralue of 5) is a direct indication of the degree of resonance Bode diagrams are easily constructed because, with the exception of lightly damped quadratic terms, each contribution can be reasonably approximated with straight lines. Also, the overall frequency response curve is found by adding the individual contributions. Two examples follow. sEveral such standard are used. This is the one most commonly encountered in plications. e 2000 by CRC Press LLC
© 2000 by CRC Press LLC Note from Fig. 11.3 and the foregoing discussion that in Bode diagrams the effect of a pole term at a given location is simply the negative of that of a zero term at the same location. This is true for both magnitude and phase curves. Figure 11.4 shows the magnitude and phase curves for a zero term of the form (s/wz + 1) and a pole term of the form 1/(s/wp + 1). Exact plots of the magnitude and phase curves are shown as dashed lines. Straight line approximations to these curves are shown as solid lines. Note that the straight line approximations are so good that they obscure the exact curves at most frequencies. For this reason, some of the curves in this and later figures have been displaced slightly to enhance clarity. The greatest error between the exact and approximate magnitude curves is ±3 dB. The approximation for phase is always within 7° of the exact curve and usually much closer. The approximations for magnitude consist of two straight lines. The points of intersection between these two lines (w = wz for the zero term and w = wp for the pole) are breakpoints of the curves. Breakpoints of Bode gain curves always correspond to locations of poles or zeros in the transfer function. In Bode analysis complex conjugate poles or zeros are always treated as pairs in the corresponding quadratic form [(s/wn)2 + (2z/wn)s + 1].1 For quadratic terms in stable, minimum phase systems, the damping ratio z (Greek letter zeta) is within the range 0 < z < 1. Quadratic terms cannot always be adequately represented by straight line approximations. This is especially true for lightly damped systems (small z). The traditional approach was to draw a preliminary representation of the contribution. This consists of a straight line of 0 dB from dc up to the breakpoint at wn followed by a straight line of slope ±40 dB/decade beyond the breakpoint, depending on whether the plot refers to a pair of poles or a pair of zeros. Then, referring to a family of curves as shown in Fig. 11.5, the preliminary representation was improved based on the value of z. The phase contribution of the quadratic term was similarly constructed. Note that Fig. 11.5 presents frequency response contributions for a quadratic pair of poles. For zeros in the corresponding locations, both the magnitude and phase curves would be negated. Digital computer applications programs render this procedure unnecessary for purposes of constructing frequency response curves. Knowledge of the technique is still valuable, however, in the qualitative and quantitative interpretation of frequency response curves. Localized peaking in the gain curve is a reflection of the existence of resonance in a system. The height of such a peak (and the corresponding value of z) is a direct indication of the degree of resonance. Bode diagrams are easily constructed because, with the exception of lightly damped quadratic terms, each contribution can be reasonably approximated with straight lines. Also, the overall frequency response curve is found by adding the individual contributions. Two examples follow. 1 Several such standard forms are used.

In context, a tenfold change in frequency. Decibel: A measure of relative size. The decibel gain between voltages V1 and V2 is 20 log10(V1/V2). The decibel ratio of two powers is 10 log10(P1/P2). Frequency response: The frequency-dependent relation in both gain and phase difference between steadystate sinusoidal inputs and the resultant steady-state sinusoidal outputs. Nichols chart: Control systems — a plot showing magnitude contours and phase contours of the return transfer function referred to as ordinates of logarithmic loop gain and abscissae of loop phase angle. Nyquist plot: A parametric frequency response plot with the real part of the transfer function on the abscissa and the imaginary part of the transfer function on the ordinate. Resonance: The enhancement of the response of a physical system to a steady-state sinusoidal input when the excitation frequency is near a natural frequency of the system.
