Function wbw: Finding the Bandwidth Frequency from the Damping Ratio and Peak or Settling Time
Below is the function wbw.m. This function will return the approximate bandwidth frequency of a system, given a corresponding damping ratio and rise or settling time. To employ the wbw.m function in MATLAB, enter wbw at the command line. You first will be prompted for a damping ratio. You will then be asked to enter "0" if you are using a settling time or "1" if you are using a peak time. Finally, you will be asked for the desired settling or peak time, and the bandwidth frequency will be returned. Copy the following text into a file wbw.m, and save it in the same directory as the MATLAB software, or in a directory which is contained in MATLAB's search path.
function[] = wbw() DR = input('Damping Ratio? '); n = 0; n = input('Settling Time(0) or Peak Time(1)? '); if n == 0 ts = input('Settling Time? '); temp1 = sqrt((4*DR^4) - (4*DR^2) +2); temp2 = 1- (2*DR^2); temp3 = 4/(ts*DR); Wbw = temp3*sqrt(temp1 + temp2) end if n ==1 ts = input('Peak Time? '); temp1 = sqrt((4*DR^4) - (4*DR^2) +2); temp2 = 1- (2*DR^2); temp3 = ts*sqrt( 1- DR^2); temp4 = pi/temp3; Wbw = temp4*sqrt(temp1 + temp2) end
