Hi all,
anyone have a good book or a good guide or reference to frequency response. Sounds like such a ridiculously wide topic I know, but the head honcho here intervened and put me on this project where I need to come up with theoretical response curves for a system and I'm kind of at a loss.
The last time I dealt with transfer functions and the like was back in college about 4 years ago, and the teacher kind of ran through things too quickly. We also didn't cover it to the extent of reaching things like dampening ratios (the professor was much more theoretical...enjoyed spending whole lectures talking about abstract stuff like the meaning of infinity, bla bla) which I understand conceptually but need to grasp more firmly mathematically. I still remember things like Bode plots, how the xfer function is the output / input, bla bla. Regretfully we really didn't have a book, as his was a lecture driven class. Coupled with the light discussion, I don't have great college notes to go back to.
I'm decent at understanding things given a good resource to work with and I like derivations (which is probably why I was assigned this, as they knew it would take some research to get to speed with). I figure the best way to start is probably just to re-learn and learn as much as I can (well the reality is I'll learn as much as i NEED) on the topic and that will give me more ideas in figuring out exactly what is needed.
If I can find a book (or a book with a chapter) that does a great job explaining these things and providing examples, I am entirely willing to jump in, buy it, ship it overnight, and then force reimbursement
Any suggestions?
Thanks AT
edit:
Yes I've googled for free info online before....but IMO I learned back in college that a great book is easier to learn from than hoping to piece it from a bunch of different websites, especially since the latter tends to not to do well explained derivations (or even no derivations at all) and doesn't follow the same methodological approach that a textbook uses.
edit2:
i know what i may be asking for (As i sift a little bit more) might be a nice thick chapter or two at 100 pages as opposed to a whole 600 page book (whole book might be too complex for the details). I'm mainly asking because I never ahd a book for this, and would appreciate references from those who had to deal with the books
