I need help plotting a higher order transfer function using the package bodegraph. The transfer function is mind is the following:

Transfer function

Seing as bodegraph has no way of inputting a higher order than 2 transfer function, i tried decomposing the transfer function by partial fraction expansion and came out with the following residuals:

Residuals

By having a series of 1st order functions i should be able to use the following bodegraph function to achieve the desired bodeplot:

enter image description here

After normalizing my functions i get the following residuals enter image description here

By utilizing these i have the following input to BodeAmp function: \POAmp{K}{tau}

\BodeAmp[bode lines, red, name path=Gomagnitude]{-4:4}
{\POAmp{0.0000002562225476}{0.0003660322108}
+\POAmp{0.001246189024}{0.007621951220}
-\POAmp{0.07907822923}{0.06064281383}
+\POAmp{0.04071061644}{0.08561643836} 
+ \POAmp{0.1185515519}{0.1783803068}
}

This however should produce the following output from matlab, but i dosent. enter image description here

Im quite certain it either has to do with the pole in the right hand plane being input incorrectly to the POAmp function, (it didnt work setting both the gain and time constant negative to keep the input format), or the fact that i cant cascade the first order transfer functions like that using the residuals.

The full code is as following, which is a MWE that only plots the magnitude spectrum of the transfer function:

And produces the following output: output

  • I've come to the conclusion that the way the command is written the + sign for adding another \POAmp will infact multiply the two rather than adding and thus i need another way of parsing the transfer function. Perhaps the author @rpapa would know a way?

you must not make a single factor decomposition (parfrac) but a factorization of the numerator and denominator enter image description here then normalize enter image description here

all functions of the first order denominator are programmed with \ POamp {K} {tau} those of the denominator - \ POAmp {K} {tau} If root is specified \ POAMP {K} {-} tau

and with bodegraph enter image description here

and the code

The plot is not the same as matlab for phase because matlab must reply in the field modulo 180)

  • Really good answer! Thanks alot, that's what i needed! however i still have some concerns: I need to resemblance that of the matlab plot, your magnitude spectrum is not corresponding entirely to the matlab one in terms of dampening. Is there a way to offset the phase to match the matlab response?

  • add -180° in phase plot

  • Adding the phase works. The magnitude plot however is wrong, quite certain it has to do with the gain, any ideas?

  • I may have made mistakes in typing the transfer function checks the values and try with another software

  • I tried but i get the same factorisation as you, however the gain is the issue. Are you sure that (7682*5364)/(-3.871E8) is the correct gain?
