Abstract

A drive signal for a motor-driven mechanical system has zero (or near zero) energy at an expected resonant frequency of the mechanical system. These techniques not only generate a drive signal with substantially no energy at the expected resonant frequency, they provide a zero-energy 'notch' of sufficient width to tolerate systems in which the actual resonant frequency differs from the expected resonant frequencies.
