Results from STI utilizing the exact describing function yielded Figure 3.34. Thefrequency is normalized by the actuator bandwidth ( ωn) to represent the ratio ˆnω . Thisgenerates the family <strong>of</strong> curves relating the difference in phase to the ratio <strong>of</strong> linear risetime to nonlinear rise time ( tˆRtRL= ).tRNLFigure 3.34 – Rise Time Ratio Phase Lag RelationshipFor the maximum phase error <strong>of</strong> 32 degrees seen in Figure 3.33, Figure 3.34predicts a rise time ratio <strong>of</strong> t ˆR= 0.17 at a normalized frequency <strong>of</strong> ˆnω = 0.6. Looking atthe step response <strong>of</strong> the linear NAVFIT results without rate limiting, we see the rise timeto betR= 0.08 sec, as shown in Figure 3.35.L- 85 -
