The method includes measuring complex voltage components of the response signals contained in the bus voltage and complex current components of the response signals contained in the branch current to form simultaneous equations that are resolved to determine the D-Q impedance parameters Zqq, Zqd, Zdq and Zdd of the measured component.

Complex filters may be used to achieve compensation of a plant, corresponding for example to a power regulator or point-of-load (POL) regulator. Digital filter coefficients may be mapped to analogous poles and zeros, or they may be mapped to values of the quality factor (Q) of the output, frequency, and gain. The plant may be observed and characterized using a network analyzer to generate the Bode plot (or Nyquist plot) for the plant. The digital filter coefficients may be mapped to features that may be identified on the Bode plot (or Nyquist plot) to easily correlate characteristics of the digital filter or digital compensator to the plant characteristics. The mapped features may be adjusted, for example by a user, either manually or by executing one or more optimization algorithms, to achieve the desired results relative to the Bode plot (or Nyquist plot). The mapped features may then be reverse mapped to the digital filter or digital compensator coefficients to fine tune and implement the digital filter or digital compensator.

An impedance spectroscopy technique and system for detecting in real time engine coolant contamination in lubricant. A probe is disposed in the lubricant and the probe excited with an a.c. voltage frequency sweep over a selected frequency range. The current and current phase angle are measured at selected frequency intervals and the reactance and resistance computed and plotted at each frequency internal as Nyquist plots. The Nyquist minimum is determined at various lubricant temperatures and a database compiled. The probe is then excited in-situ and current measurements taken for a selected frequency lower than the Nyquist minimum to insure measurement of electrode surfaces characteristics. The reactance and resistance are then computed and the angle Θ of change (slope) of reactance with respect to resistance computed. The value of Θ is then compared with values of contamination concentration Ψ versus Θ in a database, and the value of Ψ determined by interpolation.

Embodiments of the invention compensate for repeatable run-out errors without causing servo system instability. In one embodiment, HDD has a peak filter on a feedback route of a servo system. The peak filter is designed so that a rotating frequency of a magnetic disk, the high-frequency components contained in the rotating frequency and a peak match the rotating frequency and the high-frequency components. Insertion of a required peak filter into the servo system allows compensation for a repeatable run-out (RRO) error due to an event such as a deviation from the roundness of a track. Also, since a Nyquist diagram of the system satisfies required characteristics, a repeatable run-out error may be compensated for without causing instability of the servo system due to use of the peak filter.
