The differences between the two calculations are very small with the exception of the first gain<br />

margin frequency. The difference in frequency could be a result of the time delay mentioned<br />

above, however this would have more effect at higher frequencies. It is reasonable that the results<br />

do not precisely match as they were obtained by different analytical methods. Figure 4.9 contains<br />

a plot of the response with the gain <strong>and</strong> phase margins called out.<br />

Figure 4.9: Broken Loop Roll Gain/Phase Margin Results<br />

In addition to the broken loop gain <strong>and</strong> phase margins, CIFER ® can also determine b<strong>and</strong>width<br />

values from frequency response data. Using both the <strong>MATLAB</strong> <strong>and</strong> Unix version of CIFER ®<br />

utility 8 for b<strong>and</strong>width calculations, the roll attitude response to lateral stick was examined <strong>and</strong><br />

compared to results obtained from CONDUIT ® . These comparisons are shown in Table 4.2, <strong>and</strong><br />

the difference between the two programs is very small. There was no difference between the<br />

<strong>MATLAB</strong> <strong>and</strong> Unix runs of CIFER ® . The ability to analyze nonparametric frequency responses<br />

is a useful feature of CIFER ® as it allows h<strong>and</strong>ling qualities of a system to be determined without<br />

identification of the full parametric math model.<br />
