8. Derive the equation for setting time (ts).
The response of second order system has two components, they are,
e zwnt
1. Decaying exponential component,
2. Sinusoidal component, sin(wdt+)
1 z2
In this decaying exponential term dampens (or) reduces the oscillations produced by
sinusoidal component. Hence the setting time is decided by the exponential component. The
settling time can be found out by equating exponential component to percentage tolerance errors.
For 2% tolerance, at t = ts;
e zwnts
0.02
1 z2
for least values of z,
e-zwnts = 0.02
-zwnts = ln 0.02
-zwnts = -4
ts = 4 / Zwn
= 4T,
where T=1 /zwn = Time constant of the system

For 5% error,
e-zwnts = 0.05
-zwnts = ln(0.05)
-Zwnts = -3
ts = 3 / zwn
=3T,
where T = 1 / zwn

When =450, gc = -1800 = -1350
With K=1, the db gain at = -1350 is -24db this gain should be made zero to have to PM of
450. Hence to every point of magnitude plot a db gain of 24 db should be added. Hence the
magnitude of 24 bd is contributed by the term

K=1024/20
K=15.84
With K=1, the gain margin =-(-34) = 34db. But the required gain margin is db. Hence to every point
of magnitude plot a db gain of 28db should be added. This addition of 28db shifts the plot up

13. For the Bodeplot shown in fig. find the transfer function.
Solution:
Given plot is asymptotic plot. Therefore no need to draw tangents.
In the low frequency range, there is an asymptote with slope 20dB/decade. It indicates the
system is type 1 and the presence of a factor of the from
k
.
s
At =1 the slope changes to -40 dB /
decade, a decrease of -20dB/decade. Thus there exist a factor 1+ sT1 in the denominator where T1 =
1
. At =4 the magnitude is zero. The line joining the magnitudes at =1 and =4 is having a
1
slope of -40dB/ decade. The change in magnitude at =1 to at =4 is 36dB.
-40 dB/ dec means when the frequency in increased by 10 times the change in
magnitude is -40dB. The change in magnitude is
-40 log 2+(-40 log 1)
=-40log

=10 when the change in magnitude is -40 dB.

To find 1 consider the change in magnitude from = 1 to = 4 which is equal to 40log 4(-40

The factor that contributes a negative slope 20dB/ dec at =1 is

To find k
At = 1 = 0.5 the magnitude is 36dB.
By using Rule 4 in section 5.13, we can have

k 110 0.5(10)

=31.55
At the corner frequency 2 = 8 the slope is changing from -40dB/dec to -20dB/dec. It indicates the
presence of a first order factor (1+sT2) in the numerator where
T2

1
0.125.
2
The first order numerator factor is (1+0.125s)

At corner frequency 3 the slope is changing from =20dB/dec to 40dB/ dec indicating the
presence of a first order factor (1+T3) in the denominator where T3
1
.3 is not
3
given; but the
magnitude at =4 the magnitude is 0dB and the slope of the line is -40dB/dec(or 12dB/oct).
Therefore at 2=8 (double the frequency 4 i.e., the distance between 2=8 and 4 is one octave) the
magnitude is -12dB. The slope of the line between 2 is -20db/dec. The change in magnitude is 9dB.
That is

T3 0.04435
Therefore the first order denaminator factor is

Combining all the factors, the overall transfer function is

14. CORRELATION BETWEEN TIME AND FREQUENCY RESPONSE

The correlation between time and frequency response has an explicit form only for first and
second order systems. The correlation for second-order system is discussed here.
Consider the standard form of transfer function of second order system.
