Signal
Response of Measurand?
RESPONSE• System Response: an evaluation of the systems
ability to faithfully sense, transmit and present all pertinent information included in the measurand and exclude all else:
• Key response characteristics/components are:– Amplitude response– Frequency response– Phase response– Slew Rate
COMPONENTS OF SYSTEM RESPONSE
1) Amplitude response: • ability to treat all input
amplitudes uniformly– Overdriving – exceeding
an amplifiers ability to maintain consistent proportional output
– Gain = Amplification = So/Si
– Smin<Si<Smax
Overloaded in this range.
2) Frequency Response
• ability to measure all frequency components proportionally
• Attenuation: loss of signal frequencies over a specific range
Attenuated in this range.
COMPONENTS OF SYSTEM RESPONSE
3) Phase Response
• amplifiers ability to maintain the phase relationships in a complex wave.
• This is usually important for complex waves unlike amplitude and frequency responses which are important for all types of input wave forms. Why?
COMPONENTS OF SYSTEM RESPONSE
• 4) Delay/Rise time: time delay between start of step but before proper output magnitude is reached.
• Slew rate: maximum rate of change that the system can handle (de/dt) (i.e. for example 25 volts/microsecond)

Generalized Equation of Motion for a Spring Mass Damper System(1-axis)
(I)FIRST ORDER SYSTEM(I.A) Step Forced
If mass = 0, we get a first-order system.
E.g. Temperature sensing systems
• F(t)=0 for t<0
• F(t) = F0 for t >= 0– t=time, k=deflection constant– s=displacement, =damping coefficient
– Fo=amplitude of input force
• This can be reduced to the general form:
(after integration over time and simplification)– P=magnitude of any first order system at time t
– P=limiting magnitude of the process as t
– PA=initial magnitude of process at t=0
= time constant = /k

The above equation could be used to define processes such as a heated/cooled bulk or mass, such as temperature sensor subjected to a step-temperature change, simple capacitive-resistive or inductive-resistive circuits, and the decay of a radioactive source.
