2. Introduction - Frequency-Response Analysis
-By the term frequency response, we mean the steady-
state response of a system to a sinusoidal input.
- In frequency-response methods, we vary the frequency
of the input signal over a certain range and study the
resulting response.
5. Advantages of the frequency-response approach
1. We can use the data obtained from measurements on the
physical system without deriving its mathematical model.
2. Frequency-response tests are, in general, simple and can be
made accurately by use of readily available sinusoidal signal
generators and precise measurement equipment.
3. The transfer functions of complicated components can be
determined experimentally by frequency-response tests.
4. A system may be designed so that the effects of undesirable
noise are negligible and that such analysis and design can be
extended to certain nonlinear control systems.
6. The performance characteristics of a system in frequency domain are
measured in terms frequency domain specifications
Frequency domain specifications are

7. Resonant Peak Mr
The maximum value of magnitude of closed loop transfer
function is called resonant peak.
A large resonant peak corresponds to a large overshoot in
transient response
For second order system
Frequency Domain Specifications
8. Resonant Frequency ωr
The frequency at which the resonant peak occurs is Resonant
Frequency .
This is related to frequency of oscillation in step response.
Indicative of speed of transient response for second order system
Frequency Domain Specifications
9. Bandwidth ωh
Range of frequencies for which normalized gain of the system is more
than -3dB
Frequency at which gain is -3dB is called cut-off frequency
Bandwidth is defined for closed loop system and transmit signals
whose frequency are less than cut – off frequency
Measure of ability of feedback system to reproduce i/p signal, noise
rejection characteristics & rise time
Large BW corresponds to small rise time or fast response
Frequency Domain Specifications
10. Cut – off Rate
•The slope of the log-magnitude curve near the cut off frequency is called
Cut – off Rate
•It Indicates the ability of the system to distinguish the signal from noise
Frequency Domain Specifications
11. Gain Margin Kg
The value of gain, to be added to system, in order to bring the
system to the verge of instability
•Gain Margin Kg is given by reciprocal of magnitude of open loop
transfer function at phase crossover frequency
•The frequency at which the phase of open loop transfer function is
180° is called the phase crossover frequency ωpc
Frequency Domain Specifications
12. The gain margin in dB is given by negative of dB magnitude of G(jω) at phase
crossover frequency Indicates the additional gain that can be provided to system
without affecting the stability of the system

13. Phase Margin γ
The additional phase lag to be added to the gain cross over frequency in
order to bring the system to the verge of instability
The gain cross over frequency ωgc is the frequency at which the magnitude
of open loop transfer function is unity (or is the frequency at which the dB
magnitude is zero)
Phase Margin γ is obtained by adding 180° to the phase angle φ of the
open loop transfer function at the gain crossover frequency
Indicates the additional phase lag that can be provided to system without
affecting the stability of the system

14. • Indicates the additional phase lag that can be provided to system
without affecting the stability of the system
• Note: The gain margin of second order system is infinite
