Transfer function

A mathematical expression or a graph that expresses
the relationship between the outgoing and the
incoming signals of a process or control element. An
important property of motors is that their response to a
pure sinusoidal current signal is also sinusoidal at the
same frequency. Suppose a pure sinusoidal current
signal at frequency

ω

and amplitude

A

is injected

into a motor, and the motor speed is sinusoidal with an
amplitude

B

and phase

ϕ

relative to the current

signal. The transfer function of the motor at the
frequency

ω

therefore has an amplitude

and

phase

A

B /

ϕ

(Figure G-4).
