Nonlinear Bandwidth and Bode Diagrams based on Scaled Relative Graphs

Year: 2025
Type: preprint
Abstract: Scaled Relative Graphs (SRGs) provide a novel graphical frequency-domain method for the analysis of Nonlinear (NL) systems. In this paper, we restrict the SRG to particular input spaces to compute frequency-dependent incremental gain bounds for nonlinear systems. This leads to a NL generalization of the Bode diagram, where the sinusoidal, harmonic, and subharmonic inputs are considered separately. When applied to the analysis of the NL loop transfer and sensitivity, we define a notion of bandwidth for both the open-loop and closed-loop, compatible with the Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) definitions. We illustrate the power of our method on the analysis of a DC motor with a parasitic nonlinearity and verify our results in simulations.
