Using a variable frequency AC Voltage Source in Simulink
显示 更早的评论
I'm trying to simulate a RLC circuit which measures the voltage and current across a component as frequency of the input voltage changes. The input voltage is from an AC Voltage Source. I've used Simulink to create the circuit and it works fine for individual values of f. But when I try to put in a range of values for the frequency I get the error message:
'Invalid setting in 'CircuitsQuestion2/V(t)' block.
Parameter 'Frequency' must be a scalar value. Component: Simulink | Category: Model error'
What am I doing wrong?

You cannot enter a range (vector) of frequencies into the block. The AC voltage source block, as it is currently implemented, must retain a fixed frequency during the whole simulation.
That begs the question: Do you want to run separate simulations with different frequencies, or do you want to change the frequency of the signal over time during a single simulation?
There are solutions to both -- I just want to check with you first so I don't unload a wall of text up front :)

OK, so there's 2 approaches I can think of for varying frequency during simulation.
- Using a Controlled Voltage source and creating the Sine Wave input using plain Simulink blocks: V = A*sin(wt + phi)
- Customizing the source code of the AC Voltage Source Simscape block so it works with variable frequency. Luckily, I recently worked on this in another Answer :)
