kompensointikytkentä

Kompensointikytkentä, often translated as compensation circuit or compensating network, is an electronic circuit designed to improve the performance of another circuit, particularly in terms of frequency response or transient response. Its primary goal is to counteract undesirable characteristics introduced by the main circuit or its components.

These circuits are commonly used in amplifier design to prevent oscillations or to widen the bandwidth. In control systems, kompensointikytkentä is essential for ensuring stability and achieving desired dynamic performance, such as reducing overshoot or settling time. They can also be employed in signal processing to shape the frequency spectrum of a signal.

The design of a kompensointikytkentä typically involves analyzing the transfer function of the system it is intended to compensate. Based on this analysis, passive components like resistors, capacitors, and inductors, or active components such as operational amplifiers, are arranged to introduce poles and zeros that cancel out or modify the unwanted characteristics. This results in a system that behaves more predictably and efficiently.
