    This lecture is an introduction to frequency response methods, and in particular describes the Bode plot. I go through how it is generated and why we use it to visualize the frequency response of a system across the entire frequency spectrum.
    Errata:
    8:31 - I should not have combined both time domain and s-domain in a single equation.
    9:31 - it should be 2 - j*1/omega, I correct it at 9:55 but don't let it confuse you!
    I will be loading a new video each week and welcome suggestions for new topics. Please leave a comment or question below and I will do my best to address it. Thanks for watching!

    Hello Samay, You are absolutely correct. I should have written the equation in the S-domain completely, or Y(s)=2U(s)+U(s)/s. However, I accidentally left the input and output in the time domain. Thanks for pointing this out. I hope this doesn't confuse anyone watching the video.

    This is amazing! My signals professor doesn't teach very well and now that we've switched to remote learning, he doesn't give us any lectures and only gives us written handouts that are sometimes hard to understand. I love how succinct yet in depth your videos are! You have no clue how much this helps

    Love the fact that you use so many colors in your video. Makes the complete subject much easier to concentrate for me. I'm a person who thinks graphically so the pictures have to be good, colorful, but with only the essential information in order for me to stay interested (which is not an easy task, as I have noticed ;)), but your video makes me feel that I can understand control systems. Thank you so much!

    Dear Brian, your efforts are much appreciated. You made the understanding of control systems very easy, you are the best in making us to visualize the concepts in a deeper sense, your way of presenting is so good that any non-technical person also can understand it. I request you to make a video on how to analyze and understand control concepts using Nichols charts. Thank you.

  • @BrianBDouglas
    @BrianBDouglas  Před 11 lety +27

    I'll try to explain it beyond just "The math says so!" :) Look at the equation around 8:30, the input u(t) is affected through two different paths to produce the output. As frequency increases to infinity the 1/s (or integral path) get's closer and closer to zero. You can imagine looking at a really high frequency sine wave and integrating the signal over time. Once the frequency become infinite essentially the area above and the area below the center line both go to zero.

    • @shanugarg8428
      @shanugarg8428 Před 4 lety

      Oh Mr Douglas, you're just awesome. I just couldn't connects these different topics from Fourier and Laplace to s-plane and what's bode plot... I just love the way you teach all these so simply. I would really appreciate if you suggest me something to feel these things deeply to think and analyse. As a would be engineer, I don't want this awesome subject to go apart of me after I know how awesome it is. No doubt your lectures are end to end to grasp the concept but ultimately practice and self exploration is the key. And you understand the things I should go through as only engineer can understand and find an engineer inside a student. Professors just teach for exams and I'm not in face of marks. I'll end my words with the request to reply to this and help me with suggesting resources.

    Yes, obsession is good word! We are obsessed with sinusoids because Fourier analysis tells us that any arbitrary signal can be represented by a series of sinusoids. In that way we can predict how a system will be affected by any input by knowing how each individual sinusoid is affected.
