Improving the Asymptotic Properties of Discrete System Zeros in Fractional-Order Hold Case

Abstract EN

Remarkable improvements in the asymptotic properties of discrete system zeros may be achieved by properly adjusted fractional-order hold (FROH) circuit.

This paper analyzes asymptotic properties of the limiting zeros, as the sampling period T tends to zero, of the sampled-data models on the basis of the normal form representation of the continuous-time systems with FROH.

Moreover, when the relative degree of the continuous-time system is equal to one or two, an approximate expression of the limiting zeros for the sampled-data system with FROH is also given as power series with respect to a sampling period up to the third-order term.

And, further, the corresponding stability conditions of the sampling zeros are discussed for fast sampling rates.

The ideas of the paper here provide a more accurate approximation for asymptotic zeros, and certain known achievements on asymptotic behavior of limiting zeros are shown to be particular cases of the results presented.
