For a scalar field, voltage, for example, we have: = ω vVo cos t (a sinusoidal voltage) vV=-o cosaw tkzf (a voltage wave on a transmission line) These are real measurable quantities. We represent them by writing as follows: jtw vVe= Remro Now we do either of (a) or (b): = jtω (a) Drop “Re ”. The remaining v Veo is called the complex voltage (includ- ing time dependence) or voltage phasor (including time dependence). jtw jtω (b) vVe= Remro Drop “Re ” and “e ” = The resultant v Vo is called the (complex) phasor.

  • About the Phasor Pathways in Analogical Amplitude Modulations
    About the Phasor Pathways in Analogical Amplitude Modulations H.M. de Oliveira1, F.D. Nunes1 ABSTRACT Phasor diagrams have long been used in Physics and Engineering. In telecommunications, this is particularly useful to clarify how the modulations work. This paper addresses rotating phasor pathways derived from different standard Amplitude Modulation Systems (e.g. A3E, H3E, J3E, C3F). A cornucopia of algebraic curves is then derived assuming a single tone or a double tone modulation signal. The ratio of the frequency of the tone modulator (fm) and carrier frequency (fc) is considered in two distinct cases, namely: fm/fc<1 and fm/fc 1. The geometric figures are some sort of Lissajours figures. Different shapes appear looking like epicycloids (including cardioids), rhodonea curves, Lemniscates, folium of Descartes or Lamé curves. The role played by the modulation index is elucidated in each case. Keyterms: Phasor diagram, AM, VSB, Circular harmonics, algebraic curves, geometric figures. 1. Introduction Classical analogical modulations are a nearly exhausted subject, a century after its introduction. The first approach to the subject typically relies on the case of transmission of a single tone (for the sake of simplicity) and establishes the corresponding phasor diagram. This furnishes a straightforward interpretation, which is quite valuable, especially with regard to illustrating the effects of the modulation index, overmodulation effects, and afterward, distinctions between AM and NBFM. Often this presentation is rather naïf. Nice applets do exist to help the understanding of the phasor diagram [1- 4]. However ... Without further target, unpretentiously, we start a deeper investigating the dynamic phasor diagram with the aim of building applets or animations that illustrates the temporal variation of the magnitude of the amplitude modulated phasor.

  • Correspondence Between Phasor Transforms and Frequency Response Function in Rlc Circuits
    CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN PHASOR TRANSFORMS AND FREQUENCY RESPONSE FUNCTION IN RLC CIRCUITS Hassan Mohamed Abdelalim Abdalla Polytechnic Department of Engineering and Architecture, University of Studies of Udine, 33100 Udine, Italy. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The analysis of RLC circuits is usually made by considering phasor transforms of sinusoidal signals (characterized by constant amplitude, period and phase) that allow the calculation of the AC steady state of RLC circuits by solving simple algebraic equations. In this paper I try to show that phasor representation of RLC circuits is analogue to consider the frequency response function (commonly designated by FRF) of the total impedance of the circuit. In this way I derive accurate expressions for the resonance and anti-resonance frequencies and their corresponding values of impedances of the parallel and series RLC circuits respectively, notwithstanding the presence of damping effects. Keywords: Laplace transforms, phasors, Frequency response function, RLC circuits. 1. Introduction and mathematical background RLC circuits have many applications as oscillator circuits described by a second-order differential equation. The three circuit elements, resistor R, inductor L and capacitor C can be combined in different manners. All three elements in series or in parallel are the simplest and most straightforward to analyze. RLC circuits are analyzed mathematically in the phasor domain instead of solving differential equations in the time domain. Generally, a time-dependent sinusoidal function is expressed in the following way è [1]: () (1.1) where is the amplitude, is the angular frequency and is the initial phase of . () = sin ( + ) The medium value of is given by: () () (1.2) 1 2 = |()| = where is the period of the sinusoidal function .

  • Frequency Response = K − Ml
    Frequency Response 1. Introduction We will examine the response of a second order linear constant coefficient system to a sinusoidal input. We will pay special attention to the way the output changes as the frequency of the input changes. This is what we mean by the frequency response of the system. In particular, we will look at the amplitude response and the phase response; that is, the amplitude and phase lag of the system’s output considered as functions of the input frequency. In O.4 the Exponential Input Theorem was used to find a particular solution in the case of exponential or sinusoidal input. Here we will work out in detail the formulas for a second order system. We will then interpret these formulas as the frequency response of a mechanical system. In particular, we will look at damped-spring-mass systems. We will study carefully two cases: first, when the mass is driven by pushing on the spring and second, when the mass is driven by pushing on the dashpot. Both these systems have the same form p(D)x = q(t), but their amplitude responses are very different. This is because, as we will see, it can make physical sense to designate something other than q(t) as the input. For example, in the system mx0 + bx0 + kx = by0 we will consider y to be the input. (Of course, y is related to the expression on the right- hand-side of the equation, but it is not exactly the same.) 2. Sinusoidally Driven Systems: Second Order Constant Coefficient DE’s We start with the second order linear constant coefficient (CC) DE, which as we’ve seen can be interpreted as modeling a damped forced harmonic oscillator.

  • Complex Numbers and Phasor Technique
    RaoApp-Av3.qxd 12/18/03 5:44 PM Page 779 APPENDIX A Complex Numbers and Phasor Technique In this appendix, we discuss a mathematical technique known as the phasor technique, pertinent to operations involving sinusoidally time-varying quanti- ties.The technique simplifies the solution of a differential equation in which the steady-state response for a sinusoidally time-varying excitation is to be deter- mined, by reducing the differential equation to an algebraic equation involving phasors. A phasor is a complex number or a complex variable. We first review complex numbers and associated operations. A complex number has two parts: a real part and an imaginary part. Imag- inary numbers are square roots of negative real numbers. To introduce the con- cept of an imaginary number, we define 2-1 = j (A.1a) or ;j 2 =-1 (A.1b) 1 2 Thus, j5 is the positive square root of -25, -j10 is the negative square root of -100, and so on.A complex number is written in the form a + jb, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part. Examples are 3 + j4 -4 + j1 -2 - j2 2 - j3 A complex number is represented graphically in a complex plane by using Rectangular two orthogonal axes, corresponding to the real and imaginary parts, as shown in form Fig.A.1, in which are plotted the numbers just listed. Since the set of orthogonal axes resembles the rectangular coordinate axes, the representation a + jb is 1 2 known as the rectangular form. 779 RaoApp-Av3.qxd 12/18/03 5:44 PM Page 780 780 Appendix A Complex Numbers and Phasor Technique Imaginary (3 ϩ j4) 4 (Ϫ4 ϩ j1) 1 Ϫ2 2 Ϫ 4 0 3 Real Ϫ2 (Ϫ2 Ϫj2) Ϫ3 Ϫ FIGURE A.1 (2 j3) Graphical representation of complex numbers in rectangular form.

  • Resonance Beyond Frequency-Matching
    Resonance Beyond Frequency-Matching Zhenyu Wang (王振宇)1, Mingzhe Li (李明哲)1,2, & Ruifang Wang (王瑞方)1,2* 1 Department of Physics, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China. 2 Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China. *Corresponding author. [email protected] Resonance, defined as the oscillation of a system when the temporal frequency of an external stimulus matches a natural frequency of the system, is important in both fundamental physics and applied disciplines. However, the spatial character of oscillation is not considered in the definition of resonance. In this work, we reveal the creation of spatial resonance when the stimulus matches the space pattern of a normal mode in an oscillating system. The complete resonance, which we call multidimensional resonance, is a combination of both the spatial and the conventionally defined (temporal) resonance and can be several orders of magnitude stronger than the temporal resonance alone. We further elucidate that the spin wave produced by multidimensional resonance drives considerably faster reversal of the vortex core in a magnetic nanodisk. Our findings provide insight into the nature of wave dynamics and open the door to novel applications. I. INTRODUCTION Resonance is a universal property of oscillation in both classical and quantum physics[1,2]. Resonance occurs at a wide range of scales, from subatomic particles[2,3] to astronomical objects[4]. A thorough understanding of resonance is therefore crucial for both fundamental research[4-8] and numerous related applications[9-12]. The simplest resonance system is composed of one oscillating element, for instance, a pendulum. Such a simple system features a single inherent resonance frequency.

  • True RMS, Trueinrush®, and True Megohmmeter®
    “WATTS CURRENT” TECHNICAL BULLETIN Issue 09 Summer 2016 True RMS, TrueInRush®, and True Megohmmeter ® f you’re a user of AEMC® instruments, you may have come across the terms True IRMS, TrueInRush®, and/or True Megohmmeter ®. In this article, we’ll briefly define what these terms mean and why they are important to you. True RMS The most well-known of these is True RMS, an industry term for a method for calculating Root Mean Square. Root Mean Square, or RMS, is a mathematical concept used to derive the average of a constantly varying value. In electronics, RMS provides a way to measure effective AC power that allows you to compare it to the equivalent heating value of a DC system. Some low-end instruments employ a technique known as “average sensing,” sometimes referred to as “average RMS.” This entails multiplying the peak AC voltage or current by 0.707, which represents the decimal form of one over the square root of two. For electrical systems where the AC cycle is sinusoidal and reasonably undistorted, this can produce accurate and reliable results. Unfortunately, for other AC waveforms, such as square waves, this calculation can introduce significant inaccuracies. The equation can also be problematic when the AC wave is non-linear, as would be found in systems where the original or fundamental wave is distorted by one or more harmonic waves. In these cases, we need to apply a method known as “true” RMS. This involves a more generalized mathematical calculation that takes into consideration all irregularities and asymmetries that may be present in the AC waveform: In this equation, n equals the number of measurements made during one complete cycle of the waveform.

  • Understanding What Really Happens at Resonance
    feature article Resonance Revealed: Understanding What Really Happens at Resonance Chris White Wood RESONANCE focus on some underlying principles and use these to construct The word has various meanings in acoustics, chemistry, vector diagrams to explain the resonance phenomenon. It thus electronics, mechanics, even astronomy. But for vibration aspires to provide a more intuitive understanding. professionals, it is the definition from the field of mechanics that is of interest, and it is usually stated thus: SYSTEM BEHAVIOR Before we move on to the why and how, let us review the what— “The condition where a system or body is subjected to an that is, what happens when a cyclic force, gradually increasing oscillating force close to its natural frequency.” from zero frequency, is applied to a vibrating system. Let us consider the shaft of some rotating machine. Rotor Yet this definition seems incomplete. It really only states the balancing is always performed to within a tolerance; there condition necessary for resonance to occur—telling us nothing will always be some degree of residual unbalance, which will of the condition itself. How does a system behave at resonance, give rise to a rotating centrifugal force. Although the residual and why? Why does the behavior change as it passes through unbalance is due to a nonsymmetrical distribution of mass resonance? Why does a system even have a natural frequency? around the center of rotation, we can think of it as an equivalent Of course, we can diagnose machinery vibration resonance “heavy spot” at some point on the rotor. problems without complete answers to these questions.
