Chapter 9

Frequency-Response Analysis

The objective of this chapter is to develop frequency response techniques for control-system analysis and design. After studying this chapter, the reader should be able to

  • Substitute s=jω, and find Bode or Nyquist plots for a transfer function.

  • Given a Bode plot, construct a Nyquist plot.

  • Understand the concepts of “all-pass” and “nonminimum phase.”

  • Understand the effect of gains, time constants, right half-plane (RHP) zeros, and time delays on amplitude ratios and phase angles.

  • Find the gain and phase margins for a given process and controller.

  • Tune a controller to achieve a given gain or phase margin.

  • Determine the amount of deadtime or gain uncertainty that can be tolerated before a closed-loop system ...
