Time and frequency response of a feedback system
Overdamped | Critically damped |
---|---|
Slightly underdamped | Underdamped |
- Construct the circuit shown in the diagram below
- Connect the output of a signal generator to channel 1 of an oscilloscope and also to the input of your circuit.
- Connect the output of your circuit to channel 2 of the oscilloscope.
- Set the function generator to produce a 100 Hz, square wave output with an amplitude of 100 mV.
- Adjust Rgain so that the system response is slightly overdamped.
- Measure the frequency response of the system as you did in part 1 of the electronics bootcamp.
- Find the transfer function, the undamped natural frequency, and the damping coefficient.
- Plot the data and transfer function (as you did in part 1)
- Adjust Rgain so that the circuit is critically damped and repeat steps 6-8.
- To ensure that the system is critically damped, turn the potentiometer knob until you see a slight overshoot in the response and then turn it back until the overshoot just disappears.
- Adjust Rgain so that the circuit is slightly underdamped (two or three overshoots) and repeat steps 6-8.
- Adjust Rgain so that the circuit is underdamped with at least a dozen or so overshoots and repeat steps 6-8.
