A new algorithm for dual-rate systems frequency response computation in discrete control systems

This paper addresses an easy computation of the multiple components of the response to a sinusoidal input of a dual-rate linear time-invariant discrete system from the Bode diagram of LTI systems arising from a lifted representation. Based on those results, a generalized Bode diagram is suggested. Some new conclusions derived from this conceptual interpretation are introduced. This diagram provides a better insight in the frequency-response issues in multivariable control than the standard singular value decomposition of the lifted model. As an application, the output ripple suppression in a multirate control scheme is presented. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
