Handout 2: Gain and Phase margins Eric Feron Feb6,2004 Nyquist plots and Cauchy's principle Let H(s) be a transfer function. eg H(s)= s2+s+1 (s+1)(s+3) Evaluate H on a contour in the s-plane. (your plots here)
Handout 6: Proportional Compensation Eric Feron Feb25,2004 Plant under study: 1/10 G(s)=(s+1)(s/10+1)2 Compensation Scheme: We adjust the gain K in the feedback loop (draw the feedback loop below)
Handout 4: Root-Locus Review Eric Feron Feb17,2004 Summary of Guidelines for plotting a root-locus 1. Mark Poles X and Zeros O 2. Draw the locus on the real axis to the left of an odd number of real poles plus zeros
Handout 8: Lead compensation Eric Feron March 3, 2004 Lead Compensation goals: Raise phase (and gain) at high frequen- cies while not touching low-frequency system's characteristics: Can extend bandwidth of system Canonical lead element:
Handout 15: Describing functions, Introduction Eric Feron March 31, 2004 General Philosophy General reponse of arbitrary nonlinear systems is somewhat complicated. We usually know the systems we work with. Work with finite families of 'most likely
