`scipy.signal._ltisys:freqresp`

source: build-install/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/scipy/signal/_ltisys.py:2513

Signature

def freqresp(system, w = None, n = 10000)

Summary

Calculate the frequency response of a continuous-time system.

Parameters

system : an instance of the `lti` class or a tuple describing the system

The following gives the number of elements in the tuple and the interpretation:

1 (instance of lti)
2 (num, den)
3 (zeros, poles, gain)
4 (A, B, C, D)

w : array_like, optional

Array of frequencies (in rad/s). Magnitude and phase data is calculated for every value in this array. If not given, a reasonable set will be calculated.

n : int, optional

Number of frequency points to compute if w is not given. The n frequencies are logarithmically spaced in an interval chosen to include the influence of the poles and zeros of the system.

Returns

w : 1D ndarray: Frequency array [rad/s]
H : 1D ndarray: Array of complex magnitude values

Notes

If (num, den) is passed in for system, coefficients for both the numerator and denominator should be specified in descending exponent order (e.g. s^2 + 3s + 5 would be represented as [1, 3, 5]).

Examples

Generating the Nyquist plot of a transfer function

from scipy import signal
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

✓

Construct the transfer function :math:`H(s) = \frac{5}{(s-1)^3}`:

s1 = signal.ZerosPolesGain([], [1, 1, 1], [5])

✓

w, H = signal.freqresp(s1)

✓

plt.figure()
plt.plot(H.real, H.imag, "b")
plt.plot(H.real, -H.imag, "r")

✗
