System type steady state tracking Bode plot Rs

System type, steady state tracking, & Bode plot R(s) C(s) Gp(s) Y(s) Type = N At very low frequency: gain plot slope = – 20 N d. B/dec. phase plot value = – 90 N deg

Type 0: gain plot flat at very low frequency phase plot approached 0 deg Kv = 0 Ka = 0 Low freq phase = 0 o

Type 1: gain plot -20 d. B/dec at very low frequency phase plot approached 90 deg Low frequency tangent line Kp = ∞ =Kv Ka = 0 Low freq phase = -90 o

Back to general theory N = 2, type = 2 Bode gain plot has – 40 d. B/dec slope at low freq. Bode phase plot becomes flat at – 180° at low freq. Kp = DC gain → ∞ Kv = ∞ also Ka = value of straight line at ω = 1 = ws 0 d. B^2


Type 1: gain plot -40 d. B/dec at very low frequency phase plot approached 180 deg Low frequency tangent line Kp = ∞ Kv = ∞ Low freq phase = -180 o

Example Ka ws 0 d. B=Sqrt(Ka) How should the phase plot look like?

Margins on Bode plots G(s) In most cases, stability of this closed-loop can be determined from the Bode plot of G: – Phase margin > 0 – Gain margin > 0



If never cross 0 d. B line (always below 0 d. B line), then PM = ∞. If never cross – 180° line (always above – 180°), then GM = ∞. If cross – 180° several times, then there are several GM’s. If cross 0 d. B several times, then there are several PM’s.
