Introduction to Frequency
Response
Terminologies- Frequency , Amplitude ,
Phase
• Frequency, or its inverse, the period- is the
number of occurrences of a repeating event
per unit time. The number of cycles per unit
of time is called the frequency.
The hertz (symbol Hz) is the SI unit of frequency defined as the
number of cycles per second of a periodic phenomenon. One
of its most common uses is the description of the sine wave,
particularly those used in radio and audio applications, such
as the frequency of musical tones. The word "hertz" is named
for Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, who was the first to conclusively
prove the existence of electromagnetic wave.
• Period is the inverse of frequency
Bode Plot :Introduction
• The plot of magnitude as well as phase angle
versus frequency may represent a sinusoidal
transfer function.
• Hendrik Wade Bode used the logarithmic
scale extensively for the study of the
magnitude of the transfer function and the
frequency variable. The logarithmic plot is
called Bode Plot.
• A Bode plot, named after Hendrik Wade Bode,
is usually a combination of a Bode magnitude
plot and Bode phase plot:
• A Bode magnitude plot is a graph of log
magnitude against log frequency often used in
signal processing to show the transfer
function or frequency response of a linear,
time-invariant system.
Phase and Gain Cross Over
Frequency
The gain cross over frequency is the frequency
at which the magnitude of the open loop
transfer function is UNITY.
The phase cross over frequency is the
frequency at which the phase of the open loop
transfer function is 180o.
