A deadband sometimes called a neutral zone is an area of a Signalling telecommunication signal range or band where no action occurs the system is dead . Deadband is used in voltage regulator s and other controllers. The purpose is common, to prevent oscillation or repeated activation deactivation Frequency cycle s called hunting in proportional control systems . Image Deadband.png Voltage regulators In some substations there are voltage regulator regulators that keep the voltage within certain predetermined limits, but there is a range of voltage in between during which no changes are made, such as, maybe, between 112 to 118 volts deadband is 6 volts here , or 215 to 225 volts deadband is 10 volts here . Backlash Gear teeth with slop backlash exhibit deadband. There is no drive from the input to the output shaft in either direction while the teeth are not meshed. Hysteresis Vs. DeadbandDeadband is different from hysteresis . With hysteresis there is no dead zone, the output is always in one direction or another. Devices with hysteresis have memory, in that previous system states dictate future states in contrast. Examples of devices with hysteresis are thermostats and smoke alarms. Thermostats thermostat Thermostats exhibit hysteresis. The furnace in the basement of a house is adjusted automatically by the thermostat to be switched on as soon as the temperature at the thermostat falls to 18 C, for example, and the furnace is switched off by the thermostat as soon as the temperature at the thermostat reaches 22 C. There is no temperature at which the house is not being heated or allowed to cool furnace on or off . Alarms A smoke detector is also an example of hysteresis, not deadband. The smoke detector at the ceiling of the kitchen starts the alarm as soon as the level of smoke reaches a certain starting value, x , then the smoke detector stays in the alarm position until ... theory ca Deadband ... more details
mergeto deadband discuss Talk deadband Merger proposal date March 2012 Wikify date January 2011 Orphan date January 2011 Image dead band.jpg thumb 250px Graph showing dead band The dead band is the insensitivity or unresponsiveness of a sensor in a specific range of input signals. In that range, the output may remain near a certain value generally zero over the entire dead band zone. An input can be varied through this range without causing any measurable output response. Dead band is usually expressed in percent of span. The term sensitivity has frequently been used to denote the dead band, but the terms are not truly interchangeable. Sensitivity refers to the reaction of the sensor while dead band refers to range in which it doesn t react.

The describing function DF method of Nikolay Mitrofanovich Krylov and Nikolay Bogolyubov is an approximate procedure for analyzing certain nonlinear control problems. It is based on quasi linearization, which is the approximation of the non linear system under investigation by an LTI system transfer function that depends on the amplitude of the input waveform. By definition, a transfer function of a true LTI system cannot depend on the amplitude of the input function because an LTI system is linear system linear . Thus, this dependence on amplitude generates a family of linear systems that are combined in an attempt to capture salient features of the non linear system behavior. The method Consider feedback around a discontinuous but piecewise continuous nonlinearity e.g., an amplifier with saturation, or an element with deadband effects cascaded with a slow stable linear system. Depending on the amplitude of the output of the linear system, the feedback presented to the nonlinearity will be in a different continuous region. As the output of the linear system decays, the nonlinearity may move into a different continuous region. This switching from one continuous region to another can generate periodic oscillation s. The describing function method attempts to predict characteristics of those oscillations e.g., their fundamental frequency by assuming that the slow system acts like a low pass or bandpass filter that concentrates all energy around a single frequency. Even if the output waveform has several modes, the method can still provide intuition about properties like frequency and possibly amplitude in this case, the describing function method can be thought of as describing the sliding mode control sliding mode of the feedback system.
