Gain and Phase Shift

Part 5: Summary

  1. Describe in words -- no formulas -- what is meant by gain and phase shift for a driven damped harmonic oscillator.

  2. Describe in words the procedure by which gain and phase shift can be measured on graphs of input and output functions.

  3. Describe in words how system parameters c and k can be computed from measured values of gain and phase shift.

  4. What is resonant frequency, and how do you find it?
