Abstract:
In this paper, Pade's rational functions have been simulated for approximating several characteristic values of time delay regarding the plant time constant. Several representative plants were tested in order to show in which cases Pade’s function approximates time-delay block well. Only if the ratio of time delay versus time constant of the plant is rather great, or the plant contains emphasized numerator dynamics; approximation capabilities get poorer. The convergence rate of n-order Pade’s function has been also analyzed by using Taylor series and phase-frequency characteristics.
