| contents | The invariance principle, through which the steady-state behavior of nonlinear systems was introduced by Isidori and Byrnes, is leveraged in this article to bring forth a unifying characterization of the frequency response of nonlinear systems. We show that, for systems under nonlinear periodic excitations, the frequency response can still be defined as a complex-valued function in a phasor form. However, together with suitable notions of gain and phase functions, we show the existence of another function that completes the frequency response and allows quantifying the distortion introduced by the system in the steady-state output. This nonlinear characterization enabled the representation over input frequency and amplitude of the gain, phase, and distortion produced by the system, via a nonlinear enhancement of the Bode diagrams. This graphical representation of the frequency response is well-suited to performance analysis of a nonlinear system and, furthermore, allows for the formulation of the loop-shaping problem for nonlinear systems. |
