Q1) Plot polar plot for T(S) = 1/S + 1

A1)

For polar plot substitute S=jw.

TF = 1/1 + jw

(2). Magnitude M = 1 + 0j / 1 + jw = 1/√1 + w2

(3). Phase φ = tan-1(0)/ tan-1w = - tan-1w

Q2) Plot polar plot for T(S) = 1/(S+1) (S+2)

A2)

(1). S = jw

TF = 1/(1+jw) (2+jw)

(2). M = 1/(1+jw) (2+jw) = 1/-w2 + 3jw + 2

M = 1/√1 + w2√4 + w2   

(3). Φ = - tan-1 w - tan-1(w/2)

The plot is shown in fig 2

Fig 2 Polar Plot for T(S) = 1/(S+1) (S+2)

Intersection of polar plot with imaginary axis will be when real part of Transfer function = 0

M = 1/ (jw + 1) (jw + 2)

= 1/-w2 + j3w + 2

Real part

Re(M) = 1/(2-w2) +j3w x (2-w2)-3jw/(2-w2)-3jw

Re(M) = (2-w2)/(2-w2+9w2) - 3jw/(2-w2) +9w2

Equating Real part = 0

(2-w2)/(2-w2) + 9w2 = 0

W = +-√2

For w=√2 real part on the polar plot becomes zero.

So, polar plot intersects imaginary axis at w=√2 at φ = -900

=1/(jw)2+6(jw)2+11jw+6

= 1/(6-6w2) +j(11w-w3)

Re(M) = 0 [Intersection with imaginary axis]

M = 6-6w2/(6-6w2)2+(11w-w2)2 - j(11w-w3)/(6-6w2)2+(11w-w2)2

Re(M) = 0

6-6w2 = 0

w=1

6 (6.25104) + 0.2524 +2 = 4

Let 2 = x

X3 (6.25104) + 0.2522 + x = 4

X1 = 2.46

X2 = -399.9

X3 = -6.50

For x1 = 2.46

gc = 3.99 rad/sec (from plot)

For phase margin

PM = 1800 -

PM = 1800 - 164.50

For phase cross over frequency (pc)

-1800 = -900 – tan-1 (0.5 pc) – tan-1 (0.05 pc)

-900 – tan-1 (0.5 pc) – tan-1 (0.05 pc)

Taking than on both sides

Tan 900 = tan-1

A14) As the poles exists at origin. So, first time we do not include poles in Nyquist plot. Then check the stability for second case we include the poles at origin in Nyquist path. Then again check the stability.

Q15) Explain relation between time and frequency response?

A15)

The calculation of system parameters for higher order systems is difficult in time domain analysis. This can be overcome by frequency domain analysis. As the frequency response of a linear time invariant system is independent of amplitude and phase of the input test signal. The effect of noise and parameter variation in frequency domain can be easily computed.

In frequency response can be determine by calculating the phase and amplitude oof the given system transfer function. If a sinusoidal signal XG(j)sint then its amplitude will be

C(t) = XG(j)sint

= X|G(j)|sint

Magnitude = |G(j)|

Phase =

In polar form = |G(j)|

The transfer function of second order system is shown as

C(S)/R(S) = W2n / S2 + 2ξWnS + W2n - - (1)

ξ = Ramping factor

Wn = Undamped natural frequency for frequency response let S = jw

C(jw) / R(jw) = W2n / (jw)2 + 2 ξWn(jw) + W2n

Let U = W/Wn above equation becomes

T(jw) = W2n / 1 – U2 + j2 ξU

So,

| T(jw) | = M = 1/√(1 – u2)2 + (2ξU)2 - - (2)

T(jw) = φ = -tan-1[ 2ξu/(1-u2)] - - (3)

For sinusoidal input the output response for the system is given by

C(t) = 1/√(1-u2)2 + (2ξu)2Sin[wt - tan-1 2ξu/1-u2] - - (4)

The frequency where M has the peak value is known as Resonant frequency Wn. This frequency is given as (from eqn (2)).

DM/du|u=ur = Wr = Wn√(1-2ξ2) - - (5)

From equation (2) the maximum value of magnitude is known as Resonant peak.

Mr = 1/2ξ√1-ξ2 - - (6)

The phase angle at resonant frequency is given as

Φr = - tan-1 [√1-2ξ2/ ξ] - - (7)

As we already know for step response of second order system the value of damped frequency and peak overshoot are given as

Wd = Wn√1-ξ2 - - (8)

Mp = e- πξ2|√1-ξ2 - - (9)

Fig 17 Frequency Domain Specification

The comparison of Mr and Mp is shown in figure. The two performance indices are correlated as both are functions of the damping factor ξ only. When subjected to step input the system with given value of Mr of its frequency response will exhibit a corresponding value of Mp.

Similarly the correlation of Wr and Wd is shown in figure for the given input step response [ from eqn(5) & eqn(8) ]

Wr/Wd = √(1- 2ξ2)/(1-ξ2)

Mp = Peak overshoot of step response

Mr = Resonant Peak of frequency response

Wr = Resonant frequency of Frequency response

Wd = Damping frequency of oscillation of step response.

From fig (17) it is clear that for ξ> 1/2, value of Mr does not exists.

Q16) For the following system shown below find the phase margin and gain margin if the value of k=500by using Nyquist plot.

A16)

G(s)H(s) = 500/s(s+6) (s+9)

The polar plot for above OLTF is shown in figure below.

Fig 18 Polar Plot for given system

From figure we see A=0.6,

The GM in dB = -20logA.

= 4.43dB

PM = 1800-1650

= 150

Q17) For the system shown in figure, find the GM and PM using Nyquist plot for k=10. Find also range of k for stability?

A17)

The transfer function is G(s) H(s) = 10(s+2(s+4)/s(s2 – 3s+10)

As the OLTF is unstable system so PM and GM concepts cannot be applied.

G(jω) H(jω) = 10(jω+2) (jω+4)/ jω(-ω2 -3 jω+10)

| G(jω) H(jω)|= 10(√4+ω2)( √16+ω2)/ ω√[(10-ω)2+9 ω2]

G(jω)H(jω) = -900 +tan-1(ω/2) + tan-1(ω/4) - tan-1 (-3ω/10- ω2)

The polar plot for above system is shown below.

Fig 19 Polar plot for the given system

From figure we have A=2.6 and ɸ =-1350

The GM in dB = -20logA.

= -8.3dB

As GM is negative it indicates that system is open loop unstable.

PM = 1800-1650 = 450

Q18) Write short note on Nicholas chart?

A18)

The Nichols plot is named after the American engineer N.B Nichols who formulated this plot. Compensators can be designed using Nichol’s plot. Nichols plot technique is however also used in designing of dc motor. This is used in signal processing and control design. Nyquist plot in complex plane shows how phase of transfer function and frequency variation of magnitude are related. • Angle of positive real axis determines the phase and distance from origin of complex plane determines the gain.

Advantages

Disadvantage

Using Nichols plot small changes in gain cannot be encountered easily.

Q19) What are M circles? Derive its equation for forming circle?

A19) 

Constant magnitude loci that are M-circles and constant phase angle loci that are N-circles are the fundamental components. The constant M and constant N circles in G (jω) plane can be used for the analysis and design of control systems. However, the constant M and constant N circles in gain phase plane are prepared for system design and analysis as these plots supply information with fewer manipulations. Gain phase plane is the graph having gain in decibel along the ordinate (vertical axis) and phase angle along the abscissa (horizontal axis).

For Constant M Circle

For a system with unity feedback having transfer function

T(s)= G(s)/1+G(s)

Replace s=jω

T(jω) = G(jω)/1+G(jω)

But we can write G(jω) = X(jω) +jY(jω)

The closed loop transfer function T(s) is

T(jω) = X+jY/1+X+jY= Mejα

M= |X+jY|/|1+X+jY|

M2=X2+Y2/(1+X2) + Y2

Solving above equation we get

[X-(M2/1-M2)]2 + Y2 = ([M/1-M2)]2

This is equation of circle with centre (M2/1-M2),0 and radius M/1-M2

When M<1, M decreases the radius of the circle decreases and centres located on positive real axis shifts towards origin. When M=0 the radius becomes 0 and the centre (0,0). This is shown in figure above.

Fig 20 Constant M circle
