Frequency Domain Specifications Question 1:

The magnitude of frequency response of an underdamped second-order system is 5 at 0 rad/sec and peaks at 103 at 5√2 rad/sec. The transfer function of the system is

  1. 245(s2+1.21s+49)
  2. 375s2+5s+75
  3. 500s2+12s+100
  4. 1125s2+25s+225

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 245(s2+1.21s+49)

Frequency Domain Specifications Question 1 Detailed Solution

Concept:

DC gain = 5

Mr=103=12ξ1ξ2

100 [4ε2 (1 – ε2)] = 3

400 ε2– 400 ε4 = 3

400x2 – 400 x + 3 = 0  

x2 – x + 0.0075 = 0

ξ2 = 0.99244 , ξ2 = 0.00755

ξ = 0.99 , ξ = 0.08689

If resonant peak > 1 then

 ζ12=0.707

∴ ξ = 0.08689

52=ωn12ξ2

52=ωn12×0.00755

ωn = 7 rad/s

s2+2ξωns+ωn2

= s2 + 1.21 s + 49

Now Ks2+1.21s+49|s=0=5 

K = 49 × 5 = 245

So the required transfer function = 245(s2+1.21s+49)

Frequency Domain Specifications Question 2:

For a bode magnitude and phase plot the resonant frequency (ωp) is given by ωp=ωn12ξ2 where ωn = natural frequency of oscillation and ξ = damping ratio.

The slope of magnitude curve at ω = ωis ________.

  1. 0
  2. ∞ 
  3. unity
  4. Can't be determined.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 0

Frequency Domain Specifications Question 2 Detailed Solution

The bode magnitude plot is shown

20.11.2018.0326

At resonant frequency, (ωp), magnitude is maximum and hence slope is 0.

Frequency Domain Specifications Question 3:

Consider the following systems:

System 1: G(s)=12s+1

System 2: G(s)=15s+1

The true statement regarding the system is

  1. Bandwidth of system 1 is greater than the bandwidth of system 2
  2. Bandwidth of system 1 is lower than the bandwidth of system 2
  3. Bandwidth of both the system are the same
  4. Bandwidth of both the systems are infinite
  5. All of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : Bandwidth of system 1 is greater than the bandwidth of system 2

Frequency Domain Specifications Question 3 Detailed Solution

System 1: G(s)=12s+1

Time constant (τ1) = 2 sec.

System 2: G(s)=15s+1

Time constant (τ2) = 5 sec

Bandwidth is inversely proportional to time constant.

So, bandwidth of system 1 is greater than the bandwidth of system 2.

  1. Less than 9 dB
  2. More than 20 dB
  3. More than -3 dB
  4. Less than 10 dB

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : Less than 10 dB

Frequency Domain Specifications Question 4 Detailed Solution

In signal processing and control theory the bandwidth is the frequency at which the closed-loop system gain drops 3 dB below peak.

From the given options, the system gain must be less than 10 dB.

Frequency Domain Specifications Question 5:

Consider the transfer functions of the following systems

System 1: TF=10(s+4)

System 2: TF=10(s+10)

Then the ratio of the bandwidth of system 1 to the bandwidth of system 2 is ______

  1. 0.2
  2. 5
  3. 0.4
  4. 0.25

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 0.4

Frequency Domain Specifications Question 5 Detailed Solution

First-order system:

The transfer function of the standard first-order system is given by

TF=k(1+τs)

Where,

τ = time constant of the system

The time constant can be defined as the negative reciprocal of the pole of the system.

Bandwidth(BW):

It is the range of frequencies over which the system acts satisfactorily.

For the first-order system, bandwidth is given by

BW = 1/τ 

Calculation:

Given that

System 1: TF=10(s+4)

System 2: TF=10(s+10)

In standard form, we can write the above TF's as 

System 1: TF=104(14s+1)

System 2: TF=1010(110s+1)

On comparing with a standard first-order transfer function, we get

The time constant of system 1 is equal to τ1 = 1/4 

The time constant of system 2 is equal to τ2 = 1/10

The bandwidth of the system 1 is = BW1 = 1/τ1 = 1/(1/4) = 4 rad/sec

The bandwidth of the system 2 is = BW2 = 1/τ2 = 1/(1/10) = 10 rad/sec

The ratio of the bandwidth of system 1 to the bandwidth of system 2 is = BW1 / BW2 = 4 / 10 = 0.4

We know that the characteristic equation for a unity feedback system is written as:

1 + G(s) = 0

1+Ks(s+2)=0 

 s2 + 2s + k = 0

Comparing this with the standard 2nd order characteristic equation, we get:

ξ1ξ2=14

ξ2=.933,.067

For resonance peak ξ < 0.707.

So, we can neglect 0.933

ξ2=.067=1k 

Gain (k) = 14.9

100 [4ε2 (1 – ε2)] = 3

400 ε2– 400 ε4 = 3

400x2 – 400 x + 3 = 0  

x2 – x + 0.0075 = 0

ξ2 = 0.99244 , ξ2 = 0.00755

52=ωn12×0.00755

ωn = 7 rad/s

s2+2ξωns+ωn2

= s2 + 1.21 s + 49

Now Ks2+1.21s+49|s=0=5 

K = 49 × 5 = 245

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : Theoretical limit on compressibility of particular signals

Frequency Domain Specifications Question 12 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Transform coding, in conjunction with psycho-acoustic modeling, is a common technique used to compress digital audio. But the use of such a technique can lead to a coding artifact known as a "pre-echo".

  • Pre-echoes typically appear in transient situations, situations where silence is broken by a sharp attack. For example, firecrackers, chimes, and castanets all produce sharp attacks that can generate pre-echoes.
  • This is a measure of perceptually relevant information contained in any audio record. Expressed in bits per sample, PE represents a theoretical limit on the compressibility of a particular signal.
  • Premasking has been exploited in conjunction with adaptive block-size transform coding to compensate for pre-echo distortions.

 

The PE estimation process is accomplished as follows:

  • The signal is first windowed and transformed to the frequency domain.
  • A masking threshold is then obtained using perceptual rules.
  • Finally, a determination is made on the number of bits required to quantize the spectrum without injecting perceptible noise.
  • The PE measurements are obtained by constructing a PE histogram over many frames and then choosing a worst-case value as the actual measurement.

  3. 2 rad/sec
  4. √2 rad/sec

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : 2√2 rad/sec

Frequency Domain Specifications Question 13 Detailed Solution

Concept:

The closed-loop transfer function for a standard 2nd order system is defined as

CLTF=ωn2s2+2ξωns+ωn2

The Resonant Peak is one of the frequency domain specifications for a 2nd order system, which is defined at the peak (maximum) value of the magnitude of the CLTF and is calculated at resonant frequency ωr, given by

ωr=ωn12ξ2

Where, ωn = Natural frequency and

ξ = Damping ratio

Calculation:

The given feedback is a unity feedback system,

CLTF=G(s)1+G(s)=16s(s+4)1+16s(s+4)

=16s(s+4)+16=16s2+4s+16

The characteristic equation is given by;

s2 + 4s + 16 = 0

Comparing this with the standard 2nd order characteristic equation s2+2ξωns+ωn2=0, we see that,

ωn2=16.

So, ωn = 4

And, 2ξωn = 4

So, ξ=0.5=12

So, the resonant frequency is given by;

ωr=ωn12ξ2

ωr=412(12)2

=4112=22 rad/sec

Frequency Domain Specifications Question 14:

For a unity feedback control system with the forward path transfer function

G(s)=Ks(s+2)

The peak resonant magnitude Mr of the closed-loop frequency response is 2. The corresponding value of the gain K (correct to two decimal places) is _______.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 14 - 17

Frequency Domain Specifications Question 14 Detailed Solution

We know that the characteristic equation for a unity feedback system is written as:

1 + G(s) = 0

1+Ks(s+2)=0 

 s2 + 2s + k = 0

Comparing this with the standard 2nd order characteristic equation, we get:

ωn2 = k

ωn = √k

Also 2ξωn = 2

ξ=1k

Mr=12ξ1ξ2=2

ξ1ξ2=14

ξ2=.933,.067

For resonance peak ξ < 0.707.

So, we can neglect 0.933

ξ2=.067=1k 

Gain (k) = 14.9

Data:

Ten signals with each having 3000 Hz frequency.

Multiplexed onto a single channel. 

Explanation

Here, guard bands required = 10 - 1 = 9 (each 300 Hz wide).

Minimum bandwidth required for the multiplexed channel = 3000 × 10 + 300 × 9 

= 30000 + 2700

= 32700 Hz
