AN 20 Measurement of Equivalent Input Distortion Measurement of Equivalent Input Distortion AN 20 Application Note to the KLIPPEL R&D SYSTEM Traditional measurements of harmonic distortion performed on loudspeakers reveal not only the symptoms of the nonlinearities but also the effect of linear loudspeaker parameters, radiation into the sound field and the interactions with the room. Thus, the interpretation and comparison of results are difficult if the acoustical conditions change. This problem can be solved by transforming the harmonic distortion measured in the sound pressure into equivalent distortion at the voltage input. The equivalent distortion is almost independent of the radiation, sound propagation, room acoustics and the linear properties of the sensor (Laser, microphone). The equivalent harmonic distortion are not only a minimal set of information but make it possible to predict the traditional harmonic distortion according (IEC standard) at any point r in the sound field by performing a simple filtering with a linear transfer function.

The small amplitudes the signal flow between input U1 and output P(r) at point r may be represented by a linear transfer function H(f,r). In the large signal domain nonlinearities inherent in the loudspeaker produce distortion. Most of the nonlinearities are located in the electrical and mechanical domain where the signal flow is still one-dimensional. In this case the nonlinearities can be lumped into one system generating distortion UD which are added to the input signal U and then dispersed via the linear systems H(f, r) to any point in the far field. Measurement Harmonic distortion are usually measured only at few points in the sound field to at one point in make practical performance feasible. After performing a spectral analysis the the sound reponses of the fundamental component P1(f) and the 2nd-harmonic component field P2(2f) and higher-order harmonics are measured versus excitation frequency f.

Due to the diffuse field in the listening room both the linear and the nonlinear responses have a relatively long decay time. Thus, higher-order responses interfere with each other and can not completely be separated by using time windowing.

  • Control Theory
    Control theory S. Simrock DESY, Hamburg, Germany Abstract In engineering and mathematics, control theory deals with the behaviour of dynamical systems. The desired output of a system is called the reference. When one or more output variables of a system need to follow a certain ref- erence over time, a controller manipulates the inputs to a system to obtain the desired effect on the output of the system. Rapid advances in digital system technology have radically altered the control design options. It has become routinely practicable to design very complicated digital controllers and to carry out the extensive calculations required for their design. These advances in im- plementation and design capability can be obtained at low cost because of the widespread availability of inexpensive and powerful digital processing plat- forms and high-speed analog IO devices. 1 Introduction The emphasis of this tutorial on control theory is on the design of digital controls to achieve good dy- namic response and small errors while using signals that are sampled in time and quantized in amplitude. Both transform (classical control) and state-space (modern control) methods are described and applied to illustrative examples. The transform methods emphasized are the root-locus method of Evans and fre- quency response. The state-space methods developed are the technique of pole assignment augmented by an estimator (observer) and optimal quadratic-loss control. The optimal control problems use the steady-state constant gain solution. Other topics covered are system identification and non-linear control. System identification is a general term to describe mathematical tools and algorithms that build dynamical models from measured data.

  • Frequency Response and Bode Plots
    1 Frequency Response and Bode Plots 1.1 Preliminaries The steady-state sinusoidal frequency-response of a circuit is described by the phasor transfer function Hj( ) . A Bode plot is a graph of the magnitude (in dB) or phase of the transfer function versus frequency. Of course we can easily program the transfer function into a computer to make such plots, and for very complicated transfer functions this may be our only recourse. But in many cases the key features of the plot can be quickly sketched by hand using some simple rules that identify the impact of the poles and zeroes in shaping the frequency response. The advantage of this approach is the insight it provides on how the circuit elements influence the frequency response. This is especially important in the design of frequency-selective circuits. We will first consider how to generate Bode plots for simple poles, and then discuss how to handle the general second-order response. Before doing this, however, it may be helpful to review some properties of transfer functions, the decibel scale, and properties of the log function. Poles, Zeroes, and Stability The s-domain transfer function is always a rational polynomial function of the form Ns() smm as12 a s m asa Hs() K K mm12 10 (1.1) nn12 n Ds() s bsnn12 b s bsb 10 As we have seen already, the polynomials in the numerator and denominator are factored to find the poles and zeroes; these are the values of s that make the numerator or denominator zero.

The response or output of the system depends upon transfer function of the system. Mathematically, the functional relationship between input and output may be written as y(t)=f[x(t)] Types of system Like signals, systems may also be of two types as under: 1. Continuous-time system 2. Discrete time system Continuous time System Continuous time system may be defined as those systems in which the associated signals are also continuous. This means that input and output of continuous – time system are both continuous time signals. For example: Audio, video amplifiers, power supplies etc., are continuous time systems. Discrete time systems Discrete time system may be defined as a system in which the associated signals are also discrete time signals.

SECTION 19 CONTROL SYSTEMS Control is used to modify the behavior of a system so it behaves in a specific desirable way over time. For example, we may want the speed of a car on the highway to remain as close as possible to 60 miles per hour in spite of possible hills or adverse wind; or we may want an aircraft to follow a desired altitude, heading, and velocity profile independent of wind gusts; or we may want the temperature and pressure in a reactor vessel in a chemical process plant to be maintained at desired levels. All these are being accomplished today by control methods and the above are examples of what automatic control systems are designed to do, without human intervention. Control is used whenever quantities such as speed, altitude, temperature, or voltage must be made to behave in some desirable way over time.

  • Mathematical Modeling of Control Systems
    OGATA-CH02-013-062hr 7/14/09 1:51 PM Page 13 2 Mathematical Modeling of Control Systems 2–1 INTRODUCTION In studying control systems the reader must be able to model dynamic systems in math- ematical terms and analyze their dynamic characteristics.A mathematical model of a dy- namic system is defined as a set of equations that represents the dynamics of the system accurately, or at least fairly well. Note that a mathematical model is not unique to a given system.A system may be represented in many different ways and, therefore, may have many mathematical models, depending on one’s perspective. The dynamics of many systems, whether they are mechanical, electrical, thermal, economic, biological, and so on, may be described in terms of differential equations. Such differential equations may be obtained by using physical laws governing a partic- ular system—for example, Newton’s laws for mechanical systems and Kirchhoff’s laws for electrical systems. We must always keep in mind that deriving reasonable mathe- matical models is the most important part of the entire analysis of control systems. Throughout this book we assume that the principle of causality applies to the systems considered.This means that the current output of the system (the output at time t=0) depends on the past input (the input for t<0) but does not depend on the future input (the input for t>0). Mathematical Models. Mathematical models may assume many different forms. Depending on the particular system and the particular circumstances, one mathemati- cal model may be better suited than other models.

    EECS 16B Designing Information Devices and Systems II Spring 2018 J. Roychowdhury and M. Maharbiz Discussion 3B 1 Transfer Functions When we analyzed circuits in the phasor domain, we always told you what the input voltage, or the input sinusoid to the circuit was. However, sometimes we have many input sinusoids, and we want to look at how a circuit (or system) generically responds to a sinusoid input of frequency w. We want to see how an input sinusoid “transfers” into an output sinusoid. How do we do this? Let’s start with a simple RC circuit. R i(t) + + vin C vout − − Figure 1: First Order RC Low Pass Filter 1 In the phasor domain, the impedance of the capacitor is ZC = jwC and the impedance of the resistor is ZR = R. Because we treat impedances the same as resistances, this circuit looks like a voltage divider in the phasor domain. Remember we must also represent vin as a phasor V˜in; transfer functions are in the phasor domain only, not the time domain. 1 Z 1 V˜ = C V˜ = jwC V˜ = V˜ out Z + Z in 1 in jwRC + 1 in R C R + jwC We define the frequency response as V˜ 1 H(w) = out = V˜in jwRC + 1 Now, given an arbitrary input sinusoid, if we multiply it by the frequency response, we can get the output sinusoid. What this allows us to do is to model any arbitrary circuit as a 4-port (two input, two output) black box. The transfer function completely defines how our circuit works.

  • The Z-Transform
    CHAPTER 33 The z-Transform Just as analog filters are designed using the Laplace transform, recursive digital filters are developed with a parallel technique called the z-transform. The overall strategy of these two transforms is the same: probe the impulse response with sinusoids and exponentials to find the system's poles and zeros. The Laplace transform deals with differential equations, the s-domain, and the s-plane. Correspondingly, the z-transform deals with difference equations, the z-domain, and the z-plane. However, the two techniques are not a mirror image of each other; the s-plane is arranged in a rectangular coordinate system, while the z-plane uses a polar format. Recursive digital filters are often designed by starting with one of the classic analog filters, such as the Butterworth, Chebyshev, or elliptic. A series of mathematical conversions are then used to obtain the desired digital filter. The z-transform provides the framework for this mathematics. The Chebyshev filter design program presented in Chapter 20 uses this approach, and is discussed in detail in this chapter. The Nature of the z-Domain To reinforce that the Laplace and z-transforms are parallel techniques, we will start with the Laplace transform and show how it can be changed into the z- transform. From the last chapter, the Laplace transform is defined by the relationship between the time domain and s-domain signals: 4 X(s) ' x(t) e &st dt m t '&4 where x(t) and X(s) are the time domain and s-domain representation of the signal, respectively.
