When getting from point A to point B is all you’re worried about, simple step inputs usually suffice. But when your machine’s movement between points needs smooth elegance, then a complex, controlled ...

A frequency response analyzer (‘FRA’) is often used to measure gain and phase plots of control loops (Bode plots), filter responses and general frequency domain transfer functions. The FRA generally ...

[Rolinychupetin] insists that his recent video is not a lecture but actually a “recitation” about Bode plots. That may be, but it is still worth a watch if you want to learn more about the topic. You ...
