Control system miscellaneous

  1. The asymptotic approximation of the log-magnitude versus frequency plot of a minimum phase system with real poles and one zero is shown in the figure. Its transfer function is

    1. 20(s + 5)
      s(s + 2)(s + 25)

    2. 10(s + 5)
      (s + 2) s2 (s + 25)

    3. 20(s + 5)
      s2 (s + 2)(s + 25)

    4. 50(s + 5)
      s2 (s + 2)(s + 25)

Correct Option: D

Since at ω = 2 and ω = 25, slope changes from 40dB/dec to – 60 dB/dec at both the value. So there are poles at ω = 2 and ω = 25.
Also at ω = 0.1, slope is – 40 dB/dec, i.e. there are two poles at origin.
Hence transfer function, should be of the form

T(s) =
K(s + 5)
s2(s + 2)(s + 25)

Now , 54 = 20 log
5K
(0.1)2 × 50

⇒ K = 50
∴ T(s) =
50(s + 5)
s2(s + 2)(s + 25)
