Describing Function Analysis

Describing Function Analysis is a mathematical technique in nonlinear system analysis that approximates the response of nonlinear elements to sinusoidal inputs by characterizing their gain and phase shift as functions of input amplitude, thereby enabling frequency-domain stability assessment of nonlinear control systems.
