Problem 1

Consider the sampled ideal relay shown in Fig. 9-1, with $x(t)=A \sin \left(\omega t+45^{\circ}\right)$. The $t$ scale has one of the sampling points at its origin. Sketch the waveforms of $x(t), y(t)$, and $y^*(t)$ for several cycles of $x(t)$, in the case $\omega / \omega,=1 / \pi$. Also indicate on a frequency scale the locations of the harmonic components of $y^*(t)$. What do you conclude about the applicability of describing function theory?

Problem 4

(a) For $T,=1 \mathrm{sec}, K D=10, \tau=3 \mathrm{sec}$, find the possible limit cycle modes of the system of Fig. 9-2 and the amplitude of each at $c(t)$.
(b) What is the general relation between $T$, and $\tau$ which will ensure that there can be no very large amplitude limit cycle?

Problem 5

What limit cycle modes might the system of Fig. 9-3 display with no compensation, $G(s)=1$ ? What is the maximum possible average offset at the output?
Design $G(s)$ so that this system has only the 1,1 limit cycle mode. What now is the maximum possible average offset at the output? Suggest an additional compensation which will reduce this offset by a factor of 10 .

Problem 7

Calculate the $z$-transform describing function for the sampled relay with dead zone for each of the modes shown in Fig. 9.2-8. By comparison with Eqs. (9.2-40), verify in these cases the general relation
$$
N^{\bullet}(A, \varphi)=T_{\mathrm{s}} N(A, \varphi) \quad \omega<\frac{1}{2} \omega_{\mathrm{s}}

Problem 8

Use the sampled describing function method as presented in Sec. 9.2 to find the range of $\tau / T$, for which the 2,2 limit cycle mode is possible in the system of Fig. 9-5. Interpret your result in terms of the graphical construction suggested for two-level relay systems in Sec. 9.1.

Problem 10

For the system of Fig. 9-5, derive the conditions which define the 1, 1 limit cycle mode, using both the sampled and $z$-transform describing function methods. Note that in this case, where $\omega=\frac{1}{2} \omega$, the $z$-transform describing function method gives a necessary condition, but not sufficient conditions to define the limit cycle.

Problem 18

What is the maximum gain $K$ that the pulse-width-modulated system of Fig. 9-9 can tolerate without exhibiting any of the limit cycle modes for which the describing function is given in Appendix F? Suggest a compensation which will permit this gain to be doubled without a limit cycle.
