描述函數

描述函數(describing function)也稱為諧波平衡法,是控制系統中的方法,由Nikolay Mitrofanovich Krylov及尼古拉·博戈柳博夫在1930年代提出[1][2],後來由Ralph Kochenburger延伸[3],是用近似方式來分析非線性控制問題的作法。描述函數是以準線性為基礎,是用會依輸入波形振幅而變化的线性时不变传递函数來近似非線性系統的作法。依照定義,真正线性时不变系統的传递函数不會隨輸入函數的振幅而變化(因為是線性系統)。因此,其和振幅的相依性就會產生一群的線性系統,這些系統結合起來的目的是為了近似非線性系統的特性。描述函數是少數廣為應用來設計非線性系統的方法,描述函數是在分析閉迴路控制器(例如工業過程控制、伺服機構、电子振荡器)的极限环時,常見的數學工具。
原理
考慮一個慢速,穩定的線性系統,其回授路徑中有不連續(但有分段連續)的非線性特性(例如有飽和的放大器、或是有死區效應的元件)。在非線性元件上看到的連續區域會視線性系統的振幅而定。若線性系統輸出的振幅變小,其非線性元件的特性可能又會變換到另一個區域。這種在二個連續區間之間的切換會造成週期性的振荡。描述函數方式法目的是要預設這些振盪的特性(也就是其基頻),作法是假設慢速系統特性類似低通滤波器或带通滤波器,會將能量集中在單一頻率。即使輸出波形有多個不同的模態,描述函數仍可以提供有關頻率的資訊,也許也包括振幅相關的資訊。此情形下,描述函數有點類似在描述回授系統的滑動模式。
利用低通濾波器的假設,系統反應可以表示為一組正弦曲線中的一個弦波。此情形下,系統可以表示為弦波描述函數(SIDF),是對振幅為A,頻率為的弦波輸入的系統響應。SIDF是描述線性函數传递函数 的變體。在準線性系統中,輸入信號為弦波時,其輸出也是相同頻率的弦波,但其振幅及相位的關係可以用表示。以此觀點來看,許多系統在弦波輸入下的響應雖不一定是純弦波,但大部份輸出能量集中在是和輸入信號相同的頻率,因此可以近似為準線性系統。其原因是這類系統在其本質上有低通或是带通的特性,因此高次的諧波受到了抑制,也有可能是特意加入了濾波器。弦波描述函數(SIDF)的重要用途之一是消除弦波电子振荡器的不理想訊號。
也有其他型式的描述函數,例如水平輸入以及高斯雜訊輸入的描述函數。描述函數無法完整的描述系統,不過多半已可以處理像是控制或是穩定性的問題。描述函數最適用於分析非線性程度相對輕微的系統。此外,高階弦波輸入描述函數(HOSIDF)描述非線性系統在弦波輸入下,其各階諧波成份的振幅及相位。高階弦波輸入描述函數是描述函數是延伸版本,用在響應的非線性程度非常明顯的場合。
注意事項
Although the describing function method can produce reasonably accurate results for a wide class of systems, it can fail badly for others. For example, the method can fail if the system emphasizes higher harmonics of the nonlinearity. Such examples have been presented by Tzypkin for 起停式控制 systems.[4] A fairly similar example is a closed-loop oscillator consisting of a non-inverting 施密特触发器 followed by an inverting 積分器 that feeds back its output to the Schmitt trigger's input. The output of the Schmitt trigger is going to be a 方波form, while that of the integrator (following it) is going to have a 三角波form with peaks coinciding with the transitions in the square wave. Each of these two oscillator stages lags the signal exactly by 90 degrees (relative to its input). If one were to perform DF analysis on this circuit, the triangle wave at the Schmitt trigger's input would be replaced by its fundamental (sine wave), which passing through the trigger would cause a phase shift of less than 90 degrees (because the sine wave would trigger it sooner than the triangle wave does) so the system would appear not to oscillate in the same (simple) way.[5]
Also, in the case where the conditions for 阿依熱爾曼猜想 or 卡爾曼猜想 are fulfilled, there are no periodic solutions by describing function method,[6][7] but counterexamples with periodic solutions (隱藏振盪) are well known. Therefore, the application of the describing function method requires additional justification.[8][9]
