lti-freq-domain-toolbox

A library written in Racket, which lets Control Systems engineers study LTI (linear time-invariant) dynamical systems - from PID controllers to multipart systems of complex design.

It can perform tasks such as:

• the analytical computation of the overall transfer function (tf) of a system modeled by interconnected elements in the s-domain
• the generation of its Bode and Nyquist plots
• the numerical computation of its time domain response

Predefined circuits are also included: controllers (PI, PD and PID), filters (Chebyshev type I), delay components (Padé) etc.

This is a command-line tool. For a GUI one, check the newer Controllio app.

Known issues & limitations

• phase computation (including adjustment in some cases of steep phase shifts)

Installation

1. Get Racket from: https://racket-lang.org and install

2. Run DrRacket, open: File -> Install Package and paste: lti-freq-domain-toolbox in the "Package Source" field, to automatically download the package

Usage

1. Type in the definitions (left/upper part of the screen):

   #lang racket
   (require lti-freq-domain-toolbox)
   

   to load the package, and run with Ctrl+R

2. Type in the interactions / REPL (right/lower part of the screen):

   (run-examples)
   

   and press Enter to test all the examples of "main.rkt", and get a feeling of how the program works
