Important Short Questions Answers Tutorial Problems Frequency Response Analysis
FREQUENCY RESPONSE
A frequency response is the steady state response of a system when the input to the
system is a sinusoidal signal.
Resonant peak.
Resonant frequency.
Bandwidth
Cut-off rate
Gain margin
Phase margin
The maximum value of the magnitude of closed loop transfer function is called
resonant peak.
4. What is bandwidth?
The bandwidth is the range of frequencies for which the system gain Is more than 3 dB.
The bandwidth is a measure of the ability of a feedback system to reproduce the input
signal ,noise rejection characteristics and rise time.
The slope of the log-magnitude curve near the cut-off is called cut-off rate. The cut-off
rate indicates the ability to distinguish the signal from noise.

6. Define –Gain Margin?
The gain margin, kg is defined as the reciprocal of the magnitude of the open loop transfer
function at phase cross over G(jω frequency. Gain margin kg
The frequency at which, the phase of open loop transfer functions is 180° is called phase
cross over frequency ωpc.
It is the amount of phase lag at the gain cross The phase margin ,γ over frequency
required to bring system to the verge of instability.
The gain cross over frequency ωgc is the frequency at which the magnitude of the open
loop transfer function is unity..
The Bode plot is the frequency response plot of the transfer function of a system. A Bode
plot consists of two graphs. One is the plot of magnitude of sinusoidal transfer function
versus log ω.The other is a plot of the phase angle of a sinusoidal function versus log ω.

iii) It is based on asymptotic approximation. Such approximation is sufficient if rough
information on the frequency response characteristic is needed. is available.
iv) The phase angle curves can be easily drawn if a template for the phase angle curve of
1+ jω
The frequency at which the two asymptotic meet in a magnitude plot is called corner
frequency.
A negative phase angle is called phase lag. A positive phase angle is called phase lead.
A transfer function which has one or more zeros in the right half S-plane is known as non-
minimal phase transfer function.
Adding a zero to a system results in pronounced early peak to system response thereby
the peak overshoot increases appreciably.
